History

Founded in 1905, IHS was the first high school in Issaquah, Washington. 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 freshman. As of 2008, IHS currently enrolls 10th-12th graders. However, the Pacific Cascade Freshman Campus will be converted into a middle school in the fall of 2010; in turn IHS will undergo an extensive re-modeling beginning at the end of the 2007-08 school year to accommodate the reinstatement of 9th graders at IHS.[1]

Mascot Controversy

In 2002, the school changed its mascot from the "Indians" to the "Eagles". The change came after The Church Council of Greater Seattle adopted a resolution calling for an end to all Native American imagery in school mascots in 2001.[4] Following the school board's approval of the mascot change, approximately 150 students staged a walk-out in protest. The protesting students left classes and walked from IHS to the District Administration building. Upon arriving, students presented then-Superintendent Janet Barry with a petition signed by over 500 students, parents, alumni, and members of the community asking the school board to reconsider its decision.[citation needed] The district refused and the change went into effect in 2003.[citation needed]

Athletics

Issaquah High School competed in AAA (3A) athletics in coordination with the WIAA through the 2007-08 academic year. Due to continued growth, IHS moved to the 4A classification beginning in 2008-09.

The boys' 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 girls' soccer team, led by head coach Tom Bunnell, defeated Seattle Prep to capture the state championship. The girls' soccer team also won the state championship in 2004[5], 2006[6] and 2007[6].

In 2002 the IHS girls' gymnastics team entered the state championship meet as the lowest-seeded team, but ultimately won the state title.[7][8]

In 2007, Sports Illustrated named Issaquah High School the top high school athletic program in the state of Washington.[9]

In 2008 Issaquah's lacrosse club, nicknamed "ILC" won the D1 WHSBLA state championships. Beating Bainbridge Island 11-8. This win improved Issaquah's overall record to 23-1.

Due to enrollment increases, Issaquah High School moved from 3A to 4A for the 2008-09 school year.
