History
photograph Broadway High School opened as Seattle High School in 1902 in what is now Seattle's Capitol Hill neighborhood at East Broadway and East Pine Street. Although high school students had been served previously at Seattle's Territorial University and as part of the multi-level Central Schools I and II, Seattle High School was the first dedicated high school built in Seattle. The architects were William E. Boone and J. M. Corner of the firm Boone and Corner. It was one of Boone's last commissions. The school was renamed to Washington High School in 1906, and then Broadway High School in 1908. During the rebuild, alumni rescued a few bags of artifacts found in storage and launched the Broadway High School Archives. Over the years, they amassed a significant collection of artifacts and ephemera including trophies, dance cards, uniforms, letter sweaters, photos and more. In 2014, the Alumni Association disbanded due to aging membership. The Broadway High School Archives has been preserved by graduate students from University of Washington iSchool and Seattle Central College library as a resource for students, educators, alumni families and genealogists. == Notable alumni ==
