About Us
Welcome to LW High School | Home of the Kangs!
Located in Kirkland, WA (a suburb of Seattle) and built in 1922, Lake Washington High School is the oldest of the four comprehensive high schools in the Lake Washington School District. It was originally known as Kirkland (or Union A) High School and drew students from as far away as Monroe and Duvall. Lake Washington operates on a modified block schedule, offering seven 50-minute periods three days a week and 80-minute periods two days a week. Approximately 165 courses are taught by a professional certificated faculty of 115 teachers and dedicated support staff.
