Bellingham High School is a public high school in the Bellingham School District located in Bellingham, Washington . The school serves students primarily from Whatcom, Kulshan, and Shuksan Middle Schools.[2]
History [ edit ]
Bellingham High School was dedicated on February 25, 1938. It cost $912,028.63 and took 417,026 man hours to build.[3]
The school was closed for two years starting in June 1998 for a massive renovation which involved gutting the entire building and even demolishing some portions. Special care was taken to preserve the art deco facade on the west side of the building.
From its inception the school mascot was the "Red Raider", a Native American chief with a massive war bonnet . In the years leading up to the school's renovation there were several occasions where questions were raised about the cultural appropriateness of such a mascot. When the school re-opened In 2000 after a two-year closure the mascot was changed to a bird of prey , but the mascot and team name "Red Raider" remained. Beginning in 2022, the school mascot was changed to the Bayhawks.
