Excellent Education. Two of our children graduated from NYHS and I could not be happier with the…read morepreparation they received. There are about 65 kids in 4 grades which seems small but it works out to be an advantage to our kids in the ways that actually matter. My kids did AP and UofW classes, lots of sports, tons of extra curriculars, and grew so much over the four years. One of my kids was super interested in the Jewish part of the dual curriculum and one was less so - but both ended up loving it. Both ended up with their own authentic relationship to their Judaism which seems like one of our top goals. If I was to add one last thought to this, it's that NYHS did a great job at the subtle things that are truly important to the kids' future success and happiness. When we were looking at High Schools 5 years ago, we may not have been focused on the facets that ended up being the most important. Now we know so much more and are so thankful that we ended up at NYHS.

I appreciate how the school meets each student at their level, striving to support those who need extra help while also challenging those who are ready for more advanced work. The teachers and staff genuinely care about their students and are committed to their overall success. NYHS offers a fun experience for kids, with a variety of electives, a strong sports program, and engaging activities like trips, camping, Shabbatons, and team-building events. I highly recommend this school to anyone with a Jewish background seeking a quality Jewish education!

Just in our experience so far, this school is top notch in all areas: math, science, language arts, orchestra. We could not be happier with the number of opportunities (clubs) within the school as well as in the Renton School District. If I could go back in time, I would have put him through the public school system, specifically Renton. It is a challenging but supportive school. Thank you, Risdon staff!

I know that this review is pretty long. Just consider the list of alumni as extra credit reading…read more FHS is currently the oldest high school amongst the twelve high schools in the Seattle School District. FHS first opened its doors in 1912 in Seattle's Mt. Baker neighborhood and it was designed in the Neoclassical/Greek Revival style by Seattle School District architect, Edgar Blair. The school was once deemed the most beautiful high school west of the Mississippi and featured at the Chicago World's Fair in 1933. The other basics: Mascot: Quakers Annual: Tolo* Colors: Green and Black Newspaper: Tolo * = Tolo is a Native American (Kalapuya) word that means: "to win, excel, gain, prevail, earn, control, convince, overcome, subdue, triumph, and succeed." Call me a freak, but I did enjoy my years in high school. I know that at times it was awkward, but I generally loved being an actively engaged student at Franklin. May it be the various clubs, athletics and the like; I definitely made the most of it. Oh, I did a lot of studying too! The school curriculum hasn't changed from I have seen. They still offer many honors, advance placement and humanities classes. I could go on about athletics at Franklin, but that would be a review in itself. Suffice to say, FHS has excelled in sports with numerous city and state championships. One thing I didn't know is that Franklin has the most players from western Washington to play in the NFL (8). FHS also feature a powerhouse Mock Trial team. One thing that I do remember about school was the diversity. FHS has always been one of the most racially and ethnically diverse schools in Washington. Former student, and Nobel Prize winner, George Hitchings ('23) said it best in his biography: "My experiences at Franklin High School in Seattle were notable for another reason. We had a most heterogeneous population, one that blended upper class and minorities including blacks, Filipinos, Japanese, Chinese and first generation Catanians. As a result I lost any self-consciousness I felt in dealing with people from different cultures and backgrounds." I didn't know what a Catanian was and had to look it up. Catania is a city in Sicily. That makes sense because Rainier Valley, where the school is located, was known as "Garlic Gulch." This concludes the formal part of this review. The rest is just extra credit. The following is just a small sample of distinguished Quaker alumni: Medicine: George Hitchings ('23) - Nobel Prize winner in Physiology or Medicine. Considered to be the pioneer in the biochemical approach to chemotherapy. Dr. William Hutchinson ('27) - Cancer research specialist and founder of Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center. Business & Government: Gary Locke ('68) - Former King County Deputy Prosecutor, King County Executive and two-term governor of Washington. Alfred Moen ('34) - Inventor and founder of Moen Faucets. Everett W. Nordstrom ('19) - Took over his father's shoe company in 1928 with his two brothers and turned a local company into a national clothing retail empire. Nordstrom is the largest shoe retailer in the United States. The Nordstrom family is also responsible for bringing the NFL to Seattle and were the first owners of the Seahawks. Victor Steinbrueck ('28) - Architect. Designer of the Space Needle and saved the Pike Place Market from destruction. He was a force for preserving the architectural heritage of Seattle. Journalism: Royal Brougham ('12) - Sports writer and former editor of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. Some of you may recognize his name because the street that runs between Qwest Field and Safeco Field is named after him. Emmet Watson ('37) - Columnist that worked for many of Seattle's newspapers that include the Seattle Star, P-I and Times. Noted author and champion of Lesser Seattle. Stephanie Stokes Oliver ('70) - Author, publisher, and former editor of Essence Magazine.
