The Castle on the Hill: 100 Years of Stadium High School

In the spring of 1890 the City of Tacoma was a classic example of a western boom town.  Here was born the dream to construct a grand hotel on a bluff over looking Commencement Bay.  A world class hotel that would rival all others.  It was a dream that was not meant to be…

Out of the ruble of this dream arose another.  A dream that would result in a High School so unique and beautiful it would take on a life of its own and itself become fertile ground for the dreams of many generations of Tacoma students.
