History
The current high school was a freshman-only campus, called Moss campus, from 1992-2003 until construction finished at the close of the 2002-2003 academic year. The other campus, called Jackson, for 10th to 12th graders opened in 1885, but closed in 2003 due to the after affects of multiple disasters (fires, earthquakes) and the inability to effectively repair the damage. The building was shut down due to the structural hazards caused to the building after the 2001 Nisqually earthquake.
After construction finished, academics shifted to the new campus, although football games are still played on the football field located at the old campus. The first year with a traditional school model of 9th to 12th graders was the 2003-2004 school year.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“It is true that this man was nothing but an elemental force in motion, directed and rendered more effective by extreme cunning and by a relentless tactical clairvoyance .... Hitler was history in its purest form.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)
“There has never been in history another such culture as the Western civilization M a culture which has practiced the belief that the physical and social environment of man is subject to rational manipulation and that history is subject to the will and action of man; whereas central to the traditional cultures of the rivals of Western civilization, those of Africa and Asia, is a belief that it is environment that dominates man.”
—Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)
“The custard is setting; meanwhile
I not only have my own history to worry about
But am forced to fret over insufficient details related to large
Unfinished concepts that can never bring themselves to the point
Of being, with or without my help, if any were forthcoming.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
