The school has approximately 1400 students enrolled for grades 9-12. The school schedule is based on a 6-period schedule with each class lasting 50 minutes each. There is also an integrated period for silent reading, which is called advisory. There is also a portion of time set aside before and after school to help students with their learning,called study club or 7th period,though this is optional. Lynnwood High School's [[mascot]] is a [[Chimera (mythology)|Chimera]]. The Chimera is one of several mascots that have been associated with the school&ndash;the original mascot was the longhorn [[cattle|steer]], and for portions of the 1980s, the mascot was the Royal. The current mascot is the Chimera but it is still commonly referred to as the "Royals". The school currently sits directly across from [[Alderwood|Alderwood Mall]] on what used to be a wetland. Runoff from the hill behind the school and low elevation has required that Lynnwood High School have water pumps working full time to remove excess water. If the water pumps should fail then the whole school would flood within minutes.<ref>http://www.enterprisenewspapers.com/index.cfm?action=story&storyid=20061191543369</ref> As a result of these factors as well as deteriorating building conditions, Lynnwood High School will move to a new location. Construction of the new school has already taken place and is expected to be completed by 2009.<ref>[http://www.edmonds.wednet.edu/capitalprojects/ Welcome to the Edmonds School District - New Lynnwood High School Design Update<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/snohomishcountynews/2003984001_cypress31n.html|title=Agreement reached on redeveloping school site |publisher=[[Seattle Times]]|accessdate=2008-01-23|last=|first=}}</ref> == Awards == * Lynnwood High School's Chantels (Jazz Choir) took second place in the AAA division of the [[Lionel Hampton Jazz Festival]] in the 2006-07 school year. * Lynnwood High School's Chantels (Jazz Choir) took first place at Silverwood's Music in the Parks Competition in the 2007-2008 school year. * Lynnwood High School won [[KING-TV|KING 5]]'s "Most Spirited School" award 3 times consecutively between 2001-2004.<ref>[http://www.edmonds.wednet.edu/lhs/faq/ Lynnwood High School ::: Home of the Royals<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> * First high school in the state to have a new program called Breaking Down the Walls, a weeklong program focused on reducing stereotyping and making school more caring. {{Fact|date=March 2007}} * Lynnwood High School's jazz band took second place in the AA division of the [[Lionel Hampton Jazz Festival]] in the 2004-05 school year. * Both the band and orchestra received superior ratings for their division at the [[Music in the Parks]] competition in [[Coeur d'Alene, Idaho]] in May of 2006 and 2008. {{Fact|date=March 2007}} * In 2007, Lynnwood High School has won the Bronze Presidential Service award for garnering an average of 30 volunteer hours per student. {{Fact|date=March 2007}} == School information == [[Image:Lhs(aerialview).jpg|thumb|left|Aerial View of LHS]] *'''Graduation requirements''': Students must complete 22 credits and complete a culminating project.(For Class of '07) *'''World languages''': [[Spanish (language)|Spanish]], [[French (language)|French]], and [[American Sign Language]]. *'''AP Offered''': [[Calculus|AP Calculus]], [[Spanish (language)|AP Spanish]], AP Language, AP Literature, [[AP Government]], [[AP Statistics]], [[AP Chemistry]], [[AP Biology]], [[AP US History]], [[AP Forensics]] and [[AP European History]] *'''The Arts''': [[Band (music)|Band]], [[choir]], [[orchestra]], [[drama]], [[culinary arts]], [[video production]], [[photography]], [[doodling|drawing]], and [[painting]]. *'''Slogan''': "Home of the Royals" *'''Mascot''': [[Chimera (mythology)|Chimera]] </br> == Students and staff == [[Image:New LHS school 2009.jpg|thumb|right|Artist's rendition of what the new LHS will look like]] '''Data as of 2007''' *9th Graders - 373 *10th Graders - 313 *11th Graders - 345 *12th Graders - 240 *Male / Female - 54%/46% *Teachers - 65 *Teacher/Student Ratio - 1:22 *Ethnicity - 1.5% of the Students are [[Indigenous peoples of the Americas|American Indian]], 23% are [[Asian people|Asian]], 9% that are [[Hispanic]], 8.8% [[African American|Black]], and 55% [[Caucasian race|White]]. == Contact == *Street address: 3001 184th Street SW Lynnwood, Washington 98037 *Phone: (425) 431-7520 *Main office fax: (425) 431-7527 *Activities office fax: (425) 431-7527 *Principal: Dave Golden - goldend@edmonds.wednet.edu == References == <div class="references-1column"> <references/> </div> == External links == *[http://www.edmonds.wednet.edu/lhs/home.asp Lynnwood High School Home Page] *[http://www.publicschoolreview.com/school_ov/school_id/86304 Public School Review] *[http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/highschoolsports/ High School Sport Records] *[http://www.lynnwoodfootball.com/ Lynnwood Football] {{WIAA Northwest District 1}} [[Category:High schools in Washington]]
