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:
“The steps toward the emancipation of women are first intellectual, then industrial, lastly legal and political. Great strides in the first two of these stages already have been made of millions of women who do not yet perceive that it is surely carrying them towards the last.”
—Ellen Battelle Dietrick, U.S. suffragist. As quoted in History of Woman Suffrage, vol. 4, ch. 13, by Susan B. Anthony and Ida Husted Harper (1902)
“As History stands, it is a sort of Chinese Play, without end and without lesson.”
—Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
“I believe that history has shape, order, and meaning; that exceptional men, as much as economic forces, produce change; and that passé abstractions like beauty, nobility, and greatness have a shifting but continuing validity.”
—Camille Paglia (b. 1947)
