Hanford High School is located on the northern edge of Richland, Washington. The school's mascot is the Falcon, and its school colors are purple and gold.
Originally, the high school, built in 1972, was part of a K-12 complex, which included an elementary and junior high (later a middle school). The elementary school was closed in the mid-1980s in the light of budget cuts in the Richland School District, and the middle school was closed in 2005 when Enterprise Middle School was opened in West Richland in the same year.

Famous quotes containing the words high and/or school:
“And since our Daintie age,
Cannot indure reproofe,
Make not thy selfe a Page,
To that strumpet the Stage,
But sing high and aloofe,
Safe from the wolves black jaw, and the dull Asses hoofe.”
—Ben Jonson (1572–1637)
“Although good early childhood programs can benefit all children, they are not a quick fix for all of society’s ills—from crime in the streets to adolescent pregnancy, from school failure to unemployment. We must emphasize that good quality early childhood programs can help change the social and educational outcomes for many children, but they are not a panacea; they cannot ameliorate the effects of all harmful social and psychological environments.”
—Barbara Bowman (20th century)
