History
Issaquah Middle School was constructed as the first middle school of the Issaquah School District and opened with the name Issaquah Junior High School in 1955 following a magnitude 6.5 earthquake that struck the greater Puget Sound region on April 29, 1965. About three decades later, the school was remodeled for two years of "live-in, learn-in" conditions with the remodel being completed in 1999.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“The history of modern art is also the history of the progressive loss of art’s audience. Art has increasingly become the concern of the artist and the bafflement of the public.”
—Henry Geldzahler (1935–1994)
“What would we not give for some great poem to read now, which would be in harmony with the scenery,—for if men read aright, methinks they would never read anything but poems. No history nor philosophy can supply their place.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“False history gets made all day, any day,
the truth of the new is never on the news
False history gets written every day
...
the lesbian archaeologist watches herself
sifting her own life out from the shards she’s piecing,
asking the clay all questions but her own.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
