Kennewick High School is a public high school located in eastern Kennewick, Washington. It was founded in 1904 to serve the educational needs of the new city of Kennewick.[citation needed] It is one of only a few schools to have its music department honored with the title of "Grammy Signature School".[citation needed] The school is part of the Kennewick School District.
The current building, constructed in 1954 and originally named Edwin S. Black Senior High School, is located at 500 S. Dayton St., and incorporates the remainder of the second high school building, which until 1966 served as Park Junior High School (now known as Park Middle School) as an annex.[clarification needed] Both buildings were renovated in the mid-1990s, the annex first, then the main building.[ambiguous] The first building has long since been demolished, the location became until 1994 the location of Kennewick School District 17's administration.[ambiguous]
For 64 years until the founding of Kamiakin High School, Kennewick High School served as the sole high school in the city. Its colors are orange and black, and its mascot is a lion. Football and soccer games are played at Neil F. Lampson Stadium, which is located on the high school's grounds and is shared by both Kamiakin and Southridge High School.
