Everett High School, high school in Everett, Washington
Everett High School is a public high school in Everett, Washington, built in 1910 in the Beaux-Arts architectural style. The building features symmetrical facades, columns, and decorative moldings characteristic of the period, and was constructed with fireproof materials that were innovative for its time.
The school first opened its doors in 1891, before Everett was officially established as a city, with Margaret Salisbury as its first graduate. The main Beaux-Arts building was completed in 1910 and the school was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997.
The school's mascot, a seagull, reflects the city's location near the water and connects the institution to local identity. This symbol appears throughout school activities and represents how the community sees itself tied to the coastal environment.
The building is easy to view from outside and sits in downtown Everett where its classical details stand out among modern structures. No special arrangements are needed to see the exterior, as the campus is visible from the street.
The school's football team had a perfect season in 1920 and won what some consider an unofficial national championship. A game against an Ohio team was even played in Everett itself, marking a rare achievement for a regional school.
