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.
