Peninsula High School was founded in 1947 (the state's original Seahawks) in its current location. At the time it was the only high school serving the Gig Harbor Peninsula and Key Peninsula. After Gig Harbor High School was founded in 1978 4 miles to the south, students living south of North Harborview Drive in downtown Gig Harbor and Fox Island attended the new high school.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“And now this is the way in which the history of your former life has reached my ears! As he said this he held out in his hand the fatal letter.”
—Anthony Trollope (18151882)
“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)
“There is nothing truer than myth: history, in its attempt to realize myth, distorts it, stops halfway; when history claims to have succeeded this is nothing but humbug and mystification. Everything we dream is realizable. Reality does not have to be: it is simply what it is.”
—Eugène Ionesco (b. 1912)
