Ronald School building and Shorewood High School planning #1

From the Shoreline School District website  

As planning continues for the modernization/replacement of Shorewood High School, the Shoreline School District has been gathering important facts regarding the Ronald School building. This information provides our community with the background necessary to consider a variety of options with respect to the future of the Ronald School building and its current tenant, the Shoreline Historical Museum. 

 The District recognizes the value of the Museum in our community and encourages all stakeholders to share in the problem solving around this issue. The District has held several meetings with representatives from the Shoreline Historical Museum and the City of Shoreline to reach a resolution agreeable to all parties involved.

What are the current plans for the historic Ronald School building?


Ronald School was originally constructed as a four-room schoolhouse in 1912 and later expanded to its current eight-classroom configuration in 1926. It was used for school purposes for almost 60 years, until 1971. The School District has allowed it to be used by the Shoreline Historical Museum since 1976. It is currently a City of Shoreline landmark structure.

The School Board has selected preferred conceptual designs for both Shorewood and Shorecrest High Schools. At Shorewood, the conceptual design incorporates the historic Ronald School in a meaningful way into the new school, and at the same time bridging the past history of Shoreline with the new school building by proposing to share the space with the Shoreline Historical Museum.
