Shadle Park High School is a four-year public secondary school in the northwest United States, located in the Audubon/Downriver neighborhood of Spokane, Washington. Northwest of downtown Spokane, Shadle Park was the first new high school in the city in a quarter century when it opened in 1957.[1] [2] Part of Spokane Public Schools, it had an enrollment of 1,348 students in 2019.[3]

History

Modernization and addition

In 2009, a major project was completed to expand and modernize the school. This was funded through the support of the Spokane community in passing a $165.3 million facility improvement bond in March 2003.[4] Designed to serve 1,600 students and accommodate a vigorous career and technical education program, the project was conceived as a modernization with minor remodeling of the 1994 gym and new additions.

Designed by NAC Architecture, the project retained, modernized and renovated the original 1957 building (202969square feet). An addition (14945square feet) removed the portable classrooms and provided approximately 49350square feet in new construction. The total new size of Shadle Park High School is 267264square feet. The modernization of the facility included creating a public-friendly and efficient layout with many views towards the park to the west. The demolition of the vacant Field Elementary School, on the corner of Wellesley and Ash, created additional parking spaces for visitors and staff.

During construction, students remained on campus. A multi-phase construction approach was utilized over the 24+ month modernization with extensive use of portable classrooms as well as the old elementary school (Field School) on the north end of the property.[4]
