Title
English: Seattle High School, Class of 1897
Description
English:

As the population of Seattle grew, so did the city's schools. The first school was called "Central School," a name that was applied to several different buildings as the original building was outgrown and a subsequent building burned down. In 1900, the older students of Seattle would have attended Seattle High School, located on the third floor of a building now referred to as Central School II. That building had been built in 1889 on 7th Avenue and Madison Street; it was demolished in 1953. This image shows the members of the Seattle High School class of 1897.
