Deeper roots of Broadway High School can be traced back to Seattle's first high school classes held in 1876-77 at the Territorial University.

1890

The first Broadway school opened in fall 1890 for elementary grades in a rented room on Capitol Hill.

In 1892, Head of the Bay closed, and South Seattle School was opened by School District No.

1893

The school closed in spring 1893, just prior to the opening of Pacific School about 10 blocks to the south.

1902

When it opened in 1902, it also housed a separate 8th grade center, the Union Grammar School, which operated with its own principal.

In 1903, the board, attempting to rename a number of schools after individuals on the American Hall of Fame list, had briefly changed the second Central School (which contained the high school) to Washington School.

In 1905, the High School Annex was opened in the new Summit School.

1920

In 1920, Broadway High School took a pioneering step when it organized a Student Council, allowing students to participate in the administration of the school and its policies.

Classes for mentally handicapped pupils in the upper grades began in 1920-21.

In September 1946, the building opened as part of Broadway-Edison Technical School.

2018
