History

Prior to the opening of Shoreline High School, students in Shoreline were forced to attend high school in surrounding districts. Many were bused to Roosevelt and Lincoln High Schools in Seattle, with some attending Bothell High School. [1] Shoreline High School opened its doors in September 1955. In the first year the school only had ninth and tenth grades. The 1956–57 school year saw the introduction of 11th grade with the 1957–58 school year completing the high school with the start of 12th grade. [2]

In 1984 the Shoreline School Board voted to close the Shoreline High School at the end of the 1985–86 school year. [3] The reasons for the closure were due to declining enrollments and monetary issues. Shoreline was the oldest of the three high schools in the district and thus the most expensive to modernize. [4] Shoreline High School students who had not graduated by 1986 continued their schooling at one of the two remaining Shoreline high schools. [5] Once closed the Shoreline High School building became used as the Shoreline School District administration offices.
