DISTRICT COMPONENTS School Mission Statement: Washington High School is committed to providing a quality education in a safe and academically challenging environment with mutual respect and cooperation among students, parents, staff members, administation, and community members. (Revised 2004) School Profile/Executive Overview: Profile (as described in QPA) History of School Community Washington High School is a four-year high school located in the northwest area of Kansas City, KS. Attendance boundaries of the school include the northeast and northwest section of the school district roughly bound on the east by 12th Street, on the west by 99th Street, on the north by the Missouri River, and on the south by the Kansas River. The community in which the school is located has experienced a rise in low income households over the past 10 years according to data collected in the 2000 census. The ethnic composition of the county has also undergone change in the ten year span, 1990-2000, with gains of African-American, Hispanic and other minority populations, while experiencing a loss in the Caucasian population. The county now has the largest minority population in the metropolitan area, with a large portion being low income. Facilities Site Council On September 1, 1931, the Rural High School opened its doors, with classes held at the Welborn Community Church. On January 4, 1932, the new Washington High School was ready for use, and students came to classes at Washington Rural High School for the first time. The name was changed in 1948 to Washinton High School. In 1945, a second story was built to create rooms for art and journalism classes. A major addition was made in 1952, to include a cafeteria, new library, field house, home economics room and more classroom space. Another addition was built in 1956, immediately to the west of the existing building. A new football field and parking lot were also added to meet the needs of the growing school. A new library, swimming pool, cafeteria, and auditorium were added in 1963. The doors of Washington High School opened in the fall of 2003 with the entire building air conditioned. A new site council was established at the beginning of the 2007-2008 school year. -- Kansas City, Washington High School -- Page 46 of 50
