Edmonds-Woodway High School is one of five high schools in the Edmonds School District in Edmonds, Washington, United States. It serves students in grades 9-12. Edmonds-Woodway is ranked as the #318 high school in America by Newsweek Magazine.
Principal Dr. Terrance Mims and Assistant Principals Geoff Bennett and Allison Larsen are the administrative leadership team. Past principals include Miriam Mickelson (2012-2015), Michelle Trifunovic (2007-2012), Alan Weiss (1995-2007). Rainer Houser was the first principal of Edmonds-Woodway from 1990 to 1995.
The school's schedule is based on a 95-minute, 3-period block schedule; students attend 1st, 3rd, and 5th periods on Monday and Wednesday and 2nd, 4th, and 6th periods on Tuesday and Thursday. On Friday, students attend all six classes for roughly 50 minutes each.
Edmonds-Woodway was formed when Edmonds High School and Woodway High School, both schools in the city of Edmonds, merged in 1990. They combined the Edmonds and Woodway High School colors (gold, purple, orange and green), although purple and green are the dominant colors used. The school used the old Woodway High School building until construction on a new facility at the old Edmonds High School site.
The new school, which opened in 1998, is located close to Highway 99 and is accessible from Interstate-5. It is designed around a central courtyard with a separate theater building and classrooms organized in small learning communities. It received several regional and national design awards, including the 1990 Masonry Institute of Washington's Masonry Excellence Award for the use of masonry throughout the project, as well as the national annual design award of the Council of Educational Facilities Planners International, the 1999 James D. MacConnell Award for outstanding new educational facilities.Bassetti Architects of Seattle was the architectural firm for the new building.
