The redesigned and rebuilt Highline High School as seen in 2025.
The original Highline High School from 1924.
The new and improved HHS is incredible! (It really did need to be demolished. It was pretty creaky when WE were there, 50 years ago!)
In designing the brand new building, which opened for students in September of 2021, they mimicked the massing and appearance of the original school. They kept the terracotta details of the front entrance, and the brick facade. Once you enter, though, it’s a whole new world.
Here’s a link to the school’s Virtual Tour.
And here you can see videos showing the new school as it was under construction:
In January 2025, Maureen Hoffmann toured the school and shot some photos showing the creativity and inclusiveness that has blossomed at Highline High School.
