Lewis and Clark High School, high school in Spokane, Washington
Lewis and Clark High School is a public high school in the South Hill neighborhood of Spokane, Washington, listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The brick building dates to the early 20th century and follows a formal architectural style typical of public schools built during that era.
The school opened in 1912, making it one of the oldest continuously operating high schools in Spokane. The main building has remained largely intact over the decades, which led to its recognition as a historically important structure.
The school is named after Meriwether Lewis and William Clark, the two explorers who led an expedition through the American West in the early 19th century. Their legacy gives the school a strong connection to the broader story of westward exploration that shaped the region around Spokane.
The school sits in a residential area and can be reached by car or by local bus. Since it is an active school, visitors who want to see the exterior should plan their visit outside of school hours or during school breaks.
The school has a long history of producing athletes who went on to compete at the professional level, which has made it a recognized name in Pacific Northwest sports circles. This reputation for athletics has been part of school life for generations and remains visible in the building's trophy displays.
