Basic information

Woodinville High School was built in 1983 on a 50-acre (0.20 km2) site. A special education and administration addition in 1990 expanded the facility. From 2009 to 2012, the school underwent demolition and reconstruction for a new school building, to which a new addition includes a theater. The school theater, gym, and fields are used in the evenings and on weekends for special events. Leota Junior High and Timbercrest Junior High feed into Woodinville High School.
