Eastlake High School is a four-year public high school in Sammamish, Washington, a suburb east of Seattle. Opened in 1993, it is one of four traditional high schools in the Lake Washington School District, serving its eastern portion.
Eastlake shares its campus with the Renaissance School of Art and Reasoning, located in portables.
Eastlake is one of three high schools on the Sammamish Plateau, all close in proximity along 228th Avenue. Skyline High School, in the Issaquah School District, opened in 1997 and is about 1-mile (1.6 km) south of Eastlake. Between the two public high schools is Eastside Catholic, a private secondary school which relocated to Sammamish in 2008.
In the fall of 2012, Lake Washington School District converted its four senior high schools (grades 10–12) to four-year schools (grades 9–12), moving the freshman class for the first time from the Jr. High to the district's High School. In preparation for the expansion of Eastlake's student body, a new wing (E wing) and gym was built during the summer of 2012. This shift of grades between schools subsequently also resulted in the moving of most 6th Grade classes from the Elementary schools to the now Middle Schools.
Eastlake offers academic programs to prepare students for upper division and college level courses.
63% of 2005 graduates attended 4-year colleges and 23% attended 2-year colleges.
Foreign languages offered at Eastlake High School include Spanish, French, Japanese, and American Sign Language.
EHS is well known for its dominant football program. They share tradition in sports with Skyline High School and play for one of the most popular rivalry games in the state, the "Battle on the Plateau." They also pride themselves for having a devoted and large fanbase that is considered one of the best in the state. Eastlake High School competes in athletics in WIAA Class 4A in the KingCo 4A conference, and has won many regional and state championships.
