Broadway High School (Seattle)

Seattle High School

Broadway High School, originally known as Seattle High School, opened in Seattle, Washington in 1902[1][2] and was the first dedicated high school built in Seattle.[3][4]

After World War II, the school was converted to a vocational training center for returning soldiers and its remaining high school students were transferred to Lincoln High School and Edison Technical School which shared a campus with Broadway High.

The campus became part of Seattle Community College in 1966, now Seattle Central College. Much of the former school's main building was demolished in the 1970s. A portion was rebuilt as Seattle Central College's Broadway Performance Hall. A video history of the school has been released.[5][6]
