History

Prior to the construction of Cascade High School, all secondary students within the Everett School District attended Everett High School in downtown Everett from its opening in 1880. As the neighboring Mukilteo School District lacked a high school during that period, students from that district attended Everett High as well.[note 1] One high school was sufficient for Everett between its incorporation and the end of World War II in 1945 since it had no annexation of any kind during that period.[7][8][9]

However, the post-World War II baby boom and suburban expansion south of Everett brought unprecedented population growth for the city; four new and three replacement schools opened between 1947 and 1957 to keep up with the increased demand, with future feeder Evergreen Junior High School opening in 1958. The rapid expansion drove demand for a new high school in that area, further compounded by Boeing's plans to build a new factory there for its first wide-body aircraft, the 747. Originally projected to open for the 1960–61 school year, construction delays pushed Cascade's opening back an additional year; when it finally opened in September 1961 for the 1961–62 school year, the campus initially had seven buildings built at $3 million total and $16 per square foot. While initially located in unincorporated Snohomish County, Everett annexed Cascade and its surrounding area on February 6, 1962.[7][8][9]

Cascade underwent renovation and modernization in 1999. Everett-based Dykeman Architects & Interiors was the lead architect on the project, with Redmond-based Osborne Construction serving as general contractor.[10][11][12]

Notes
  1. The city of Mukilteo did not incorporate until 1947; Rosehill School at the city's waterfront was the only school in the Mukilteo School District for much of its history prior to the opening of Cascade. The arrangement of Mukilteo district students attending the Everett district for secondary education continued until the opening of Mariner High School in 1970.
