Is anyone here from Issaquah High School?

I'm currently a junior and looking to connect with other students who might be attending Issaquah High School. Can anyone provide insights on the school culture, academics, clubs, etc? Does the school really embody the Americana spirit like some people suggest? Would love to hear your thoughts, experiences, or even how you think it's preparing you for the college process if you're a fellow junior!

Hey there! Issaquah High School is known for its balance between good academics and active extracurricular activities, whether it's in the arts, athletics, or clubs. From what students have shared, the teachers are quite dedicated and supportive, ensuring that students are challenged yet guided academically.

As for the "Americana spirit," I suppose it depends on what that means to you. If you're referring to the spirit of community, teamwork, and school pride, then yes, people tend to say that about Issaquah High. The students often involve themselves in planning and participating in school events, community service, and leadership roles in clubs.

Many students also report that their experience at Issaquah High has positively impacted their college preparation process. The rigorous academic atmosphere fosters the development of good study habits, and the diverse extracurricular activities provide a range of opportunities for students to develop a "spike," or a deeper interest in a particular field.

However, every student's experience is unique, and it's essential to get involved in the areas you're passionate about to make the most of your years at Issaquah. If you're interested in learning about specific clubs or activities, it might be worthwhile reaching out directly to the school or talking to current students. I hope this helps, and best of luck with your junior year!
