Sumner High School is a high school in Sumner, Washington, United States. It is one of two high schools in the Sumner–Bonney Lake School District, which serves Sumner and the neighboring city of Bonney Lake.
The high school's athletic teams are named the Spartans.[1] They are members of the South Puget Sound League and classified as a 4A school.[2]
Sunset Stadium is a stadium attached to Sumner High School. Its naming rights are held by Sunset Chevrolet, a car dealership located in downtown Sumner. It is used for American football, soccer, lacrosse, and track and field.
In 2023, Sumner High School and its school district faced a lawsuit from a group of six students who had claimed they had been sexually abused by a teacher at the school. The lawsuit claims that the school district was aware of the sexual abuse, but did not take action until it was reported by news outlets. In April 2023, Sumner High School basketball coach Jacob Jackson was charged with child rape and molestation, and subsequently fired from his position; two lawsuits were filed against him prior to the firing.[1] Allegations of abuse were made against Jackson as early as 2018.[3]
