White River High School is a public secondary school located on an 84acres site just outside Buckley, Washington, United States. Before 1949, it was known as "Buckley High School" but with a merger with "Enumclaw High School" in neighboring Enumclaw, the school became known as White River. In 1952, the voters (especially the Chamber of Commerce) of the City of Enumclaw voted to form their own district.
In September 2003, White River moved into a new 240000square feet facility.[2] The facility was designed by INTEGRUS Architecture and landscape architects Cascade Design Collaborative, Inc. The design focuses on separating the school into five career path sections—arts and communications, health and human services, business and marketing, science and natural resources, and engineering and technology—for upper classmen and three core class sections for underclassmen. The lunch area is at the center of the school, surrounded by the offices, library, credit union (now defunct) and counseling center.[3] [4]
