Shorewood High School is the one of two public high schools in the Shoreline School District in Shoreline, Washington, United States. The school originally opened in 1975 and is the largest high school in the district. It serves students in grades nine through twelve. Shorewood accepts students west of Interstate 5 (I-5), and is fed students from Einstein Middle School and local private schools. As of 2014, approximately 53% of students are White and 47% are visible minorities.〔(OSPI School Report Card 2013-14 ). Retrieved 2015-03-29〕 The school Mascot is the Thunderbird, commonly called the T-Bird. ==Facility and history== Shorewood High School's original facility built in 1975, was a large high school that used to span 5 city blocks. It had eight single floor buildings with open outdoor corridors. The 1975 building was built in sections: the 100’s building, closest to N. 175th Street was originally the Ronald Grade School built in 1906 and closed in 1971 due to a failed levy.〔(Shoreline School Closure and Opening Records ), Accessed January 20, 2007〕〔(Shoreline District History ), Accessed January 20, 2007〕 The building was then used as a museum until 2010. Along with the elementary school being closed, five other schools were closed, including Butler Junior High School, an older school originally built in 1953 and closed in 1973 to be rebuilt and become the main campus for the new High School named Shorewood. The students still in 7th or 8th grade at the time of the closure were sent to either Einstein Junior High School, or Cordell Hull Junior High School, with a few going to Kellogg Junior High School.〔 None of these schools were "middle" schools at that time. Shorewood was to be the first 4-year high school. Upon its opening, only the 9th and 10th graders were brought in. That 10th grade class remained the eldest class at Shorewood until their graduation in the summer of 1978. It was a unique situation for that one class of students as they never had to face upperclassmen. During this transition period for the district, all of the remaining junior high schools became middle schools. Many of the last class of 7th grade students to enter Butler Junior High School were in the very first graduating class of Shorewood High School in 1978. Shorewood High School underwent a 6.5 million dollar renovation in 1997.〔(Shoreline School District Shorewood High ), Accessed January 21, 2007〕 In 2011 the school district approved plans to replace the school building with a new facility on the same site. The renovation and incorporation of the historic Ronald School building was approved by the Association of King County Historical Organizations.〔(AKCHO, December 2010 ). Retrieved 2011-10-18〕 The ground-breaking ceremony for the new construction was held on October 17, 2011. The historic building was incorporated into the design as part of the new school's performing arts department and the remainder of the existing buildings were demolished.〔(Shoreline Schools newsletter ). Retrieved 2011-10-18〕 Architects for the new school were Bassetti Architects.〔(''Steel Going Up as New Shorewood High Takes Shape'', Shoreline-LakeForestPark Patch, June 6 2012 ). Retrieved 2013-09-05〕 The new 220,000 square foot facility opened on time in September 2013 for the 2013-14 school year.〔(The Patch, ''Students Break Ground For New Shorewood High'' ).
