Edmonds Woodway High School
Edmonds Woodway High School is one of five high schools in the Edmonds School District in Edmonds, Washington, United States. It serves students in grades 9–12. It was ranked as the No. 318 high school in America by Newsweek Magazine in 2009. The US News and World Report from 2025 to 2026 ranked EWHS No. 66 of 432 in Washington and No. 3880 of 18000 nationally.
The original Edmonds High School was built in 1909 and was the first high school built in South Snohomish County. The original building was a two-story brick classical revival building and was replaced in 1939 by the building that today houses the Edmonds Center for the Arts. All that remains of the original building is the entry way, which now stands in front of Cascadia Art Museum, near the Edmonds waterfront. In 1957, as the population continued to grow, Edmonds High School moved a mile east from downtown Edmonds, into its current location.
Edmonds-Woodway was formed when Edmonds High School and Woodway High School (now the campus of Edmonds Heights K-12), merged in 1990. The schools' colors (gold, purple, orange and green) were combined, although purple and green are the dominant colors used. The school used the old Woodway High School campus until construction on a new facility at 7600 212th St SW. Prior to the merger, the two schools were academic and athletic rivals, despite sharing feeder middle schools.
The new campus, which opened in 1998, is located close to Highway 99 and is accessible from Interstate-5 via 220th St SW. It is designed around a central courtyard with a separate theater building (A) and classrooms organized in small learning communities (B through F). It received several regional and national design awards, including the 1990 Masonry Institute of Washington's Masonry Excellence Award for the use of masonry throughout the project, as well as the national annual design award of the Council of Educational Facilities Planners International, the 1999 James D. MacConnell Award for outstanding new educational facilities. Bassetti Architects of Seattle was the architectural firm for the new building.
In June 2018, the building's clock tower was named after longtime administrator Geoff Bennett, who retired after being honored at the school's graduation ceremony.
Past principals include Dr. Terrance Mims (2015–2020), Miriam Mickelson (2012–2015), Michelle Trifunovic (2007–2012), and Alan Weiss (1995–2007). Rainer Houser was the first principal of Edmonds-Woodway, serving from 1990 to 1995.
In 1996, Edmonds-Woodway became an International Baccalaureate (IB) World School, offering the IB Diploma Programme. Edmonds-Woodway is the only high school in the Edmonds School District to offer the program.
In 2009, Edmonds-Woodway student Sally Chu was named as the school's first US Presidential Scholar. In 2005, the school had eight National Merit Scholar finalists, the most of any high school in the state.[citation needed]
