[edit] History

The school opened in 1967 and between 1970 and 1986 the school was modernized and expanded. Beginning in July 1995, the school has been an International Baccalaureate Organization school, its current IB director being Michael O'Byrne.

Highest enrollment: 1,700 in 1986-87 Lowest enrollment: 721 in 2004-05

In 2003 the Interlake High School Construction Project was initiated. A large section of the original school was demolished, and a two-story facility was put in as a replacement. The school now includes a performing arts center which seats 377 and a central exterior plaza. The technology building and horticulture building were remodeled, and parking was improved.

The project was nearly completed by August 2005 at a cost of US$45 million. The architect for the remodelling was BLRAarchitects.

[edit] Enrollment

Interlake had 791 students in the 2005-06 school year. The enrollment currently at Interlake high school for the 2006-07 school year is 900 students.

[edit] PRISM at Interlake

The PRISM program continuation from Odle Middle School to Interlake began in 2006, allowing students to take the program through high school. Due to PRISM program continuation and a succesful IB program at Interlake, we expect to see a student population increase.
