Snohomish High School is a secondary school located in the Snohomish School District, in Snohomish, Washington. SHS, built for 1200 students, contains 1797 9th-12th graders (as of 2009-10) [1] The school serves primarily those students living north of the Snohomish River. Glacier Peak High School, which opened 4 September 2008, serves primarily those students living south of the Snohomish River.
[edit] HistoryBefore SHS actually opened it was first a courthouse with a small jail section underneath. SHS first opened in 1894 at the completion of the original 'A building'. The school underwent many remodels through the 1980s, including changes to the 'B building'. These changes removed the last vestiges of 'old' Snohomish High School - making the building completely modern. Among the changes made to the B building were the removal of its decades old fixed wooden bleachers and over-painting of many student-painted murals from the 1960s and earlier. There were also additions of music, science, and vocational buildings during this time. In an attempt to curb overcrowding, the 'C building' was constructed and opened in 1999, adding an additional ten classrooms to the school. [edit] General informationThe school is currently 253,458 square feet (23,547.0 m2) in area, plus 896 square feet (83.2 m2) per additional portable classroom. Though more than 2100 students now attend SHS, the building has a practical capacity of just over 1700 students. The school has a total of 90 classrooms. [edit] SerpentineThe Serpentine Parade is a Homecoming tradition that has been held in Snohomish for 50 years[2]. The annual event draws crowds from the city, as every Snohomish High School student in their school colors marches from Avenue D to the Freshman Campus, past Central Elementary and down to first street, and back to SHS on Avenue E. The parade is held the Friday afternoon of homecoming each year. [edit] CampusSnohomish Senior High School consists of a complex of buildings in an open campus layout. At the South end of the campus are the A and B buildings, connected to the library in between via an overpass. North of the B building is the Performing Arts Center, or PAC. North of the A building is the Cafeteria and New Gym. North of that, near the teacher parking lot, is the C building, which is scheduled for demolition in the renovation of the school in 2009. Just West of the New Gym is the brand-new "D" building which houses many classes ranging from art to science to math to auto mechanics. Originally West of the C building and North of the Music building was the V building, where the vocational and art classes met, but it was demolished in the summer of 2008 to make room for D building and additional staff parking. The interior of A building is scheduled to be torn out and renovated during the summer of 2009. The School has five double portables situated in the north end faculty parking lot while re-modeling and construction takes place. New tennis courts and south end faculty parking now run parallel to each other on 5th Street. [edit] ASB[edit] MembersThe ASB consists of:
