The school shares a campus with Chief Sealth International High School which together provide a joint facility for students in grades 6-12. The school's student population is racially and culturally diverse and the programs offered reflect this.History & FacilitiesThe school opened in 1952 as David T. Denny Junior High School at 8401 30th Avenue SW. The facility was designed for 900 students but in 1959-1963 enrollment was over 1,600. In 1982–83, Denny went to 7–8 configuration, in 1989–90 to a 6-8 configuration, and in 2010 it was renamed Denny International Middle School to reflect its focus on international focus studies and foreign languages.In September 2011 the school was relocated from its original location to the nearby campus of Chief Sealth International High School. Both schools remain distinct within the shared facility, although some spaces such as the renovated CSIHS auditorium and the new Galleria are shared between the schools. The design of the renovation and expansion was undertaken by Bassetti Architects of Seattle. The school remains in close proximity to the Southwest Athletic Complex, which features a 4000-seat outdoor stadium, and a community center and pool operated by the City of Seattle. The former site was converted to a school district-owned community park that includes tennis courts and a softball field.

Garfield High School
400 23rd Ave Seattle , WA 98122 United States

James A. Garfield High School is a public high school in the Seattle Public Schools district of Seattle, Washington, USA. Located along 23rd Avenue between E. Alder and E. Jefferson Streets in Seattle's urban Central District, Garfield draws students from all over the city. Garfield is also one of two options for the district's Accelerated Progress Program for highly gifted students, with the other being Ingraham International High School. As a result, it has many college-level classes available ranging from calculus-based physics to Advanced Placement (AP) studio art.HistoryIn 1917, the Seattle School Board authorized the purchase of property for East High School at a location suggested by the board’s secretary, Reuben Jones, because it was “on a hill and the school would stand out.” Construction was delayed until the end of World War I, and by that time there was a pressing need for space in the city’s four high schools. Immediate action had to be taken, which meant that a temporary structure was erected at the East High School site in 1920. The 12-room wooden structure housed 282 incoming freshmen who transferred from Broadway High School.Midway through the 1920–21 school year, 140 more students entered East High School. Portables were added, and, by 1922–23, a total of 27 temporary buildings stood on the grounds. Enrollment by this time exceeded 900 students. Additional property was acquired and construction began on a permanent building. The first principal, George N. Porter, suggested that the school be named after James A. Garfield, 20th President of the United States who earned recognition as a congressman and Civil War leader. Porter also selected the Bulldog as school mascot and the colors purple and white. The new James A. Garfield High School opened in September 1923 with over 1,000 students. The three-story structure was designed in the Jacobean style by Floyd Naramore with elaborate terra cotta details. The main (north) entrance features a projecting bay with triple arched doorways.
