History

In 1903, North Side High School was built to service the city of Bellingham, the conglomerate of four communities that surrounded Bellingham Bay - Whatcom, Bellingham, Sehome, and Fairhaven. In 1916, additional construction doubled the size of the building, and the name was changed to Whatcom High School. In 1937, Bellingham High School was built, and the students from Whatcom High School were moved to the new building. [ [http://wwwbhs.bham.wednet.edu/about/bhshistory/history.htm History of BHS ] ] The old building became Whatcom Junior High for grades 7-9. The school was reorganized into Whatcom Middle School in 1967 to serve grades 6-8. [ [http://wwwwms.bham.wednet.edu/Information/History.htm Untitled Document ] ]
