Issaquah High School, is also known as Issaquah Senior High School or IHS. It is a public secondary school located in Issaquah, Washington, USA operating under the Issaquah School District.
History
Founded in 1905, IHS was the first high school in Issaquah, WA. Previously located near the Issaquah Middle School campus, most of the current academic buildings were completed in 1962. Growth of enrollment at IHS has coincided with the growth of the Issaquah community. The Issaquah School District completed the construction of the Pacific Cascade Freshman Campus in 2005, making it the new home to IHS and nearby Skyline High School's 9th graders. IHS currently enrolls 10th-12th graders. However, the Pacific Cascade Freshman Campus will be converted into a middle school. IHS will undergo an extensive re-modeling at the end of the 2007-08 school year to accommodate the reinstatement of 9th graders at IHS.[2]
Athletics
Currently, Issaquah High School competes in AAA (3A) athletics in coordination with the WIAA. The continued growth at IHS, however, could lead to a change from 3A to 4A competition.
The Men's Baseball team won its first State Championship in 2000. Led by head coach Rob Reese, IHS defeated Skyline High School 5-3 in the State Championship game. The team won the state title again in 2004 and 2007.
In November 2007, the women's soccer team, led by head coach Tom Bunnell, defeated Seattle Prep to capture the State Championship. The women's soccer team won the State Championship in 2004[4], 2006[5] and 2007[5].
In 2002 the Issaquah Women's Gymnastics team came into the State Championship meet as the lowest-seeded team, but ultimately won the state title that year.[6][7]
In 2007, Sports Illustrated named Issaquah High School the top high school athletic program in the state of Washington.[8]
