Juanita High School

Juanita High School is a high school in Kirkland, Washington, administered by Lake Washington School District. It was opened on September 4, 1971, as a result of a campaign driven by an education theory known as the "Juanita Concept", developed by John Strauss, who became the school's first principal. It was later discovered that this concept did not work, and so the school was later remodeled into a traditional format. In June 2018, half the school was demolished and was rebuilt to house more students in the growing school. The whole school is said to be done by the year 2021.[2]
