y dad and I always t a l k about how Lynnwood High School has changed over the years. He was in the first graduating class back in 1973 and I, his daughter, will be the last class, the class of 2009, graduating
form the original building. There are some similarities and differences between the first Lynnwood High School graduating class and the last. The building itself is now “old” and sinking.” From the creation to the demolition, one thing is still the same; however, Lynnwood High will
always be remembered as the most-spirited school in Western Washington. Growing up in a home full of Lynnwood spirit has been a wonderful privilege. My dad was a yell king, kind of like a male cheerleader, and I have been a cheerleader for the last two years. Everyone in my family has attended Lynnwood High Schooldad, mom, uncles, aunts, cousins, and my brother. We have all shared the Lynnwood Spirit. Diversity is another thing Lynnwood will always be known for. Our school has always had many different cultures and languages. As I take my last walks through the halls during my senior year, I will take every memory with me. I will remember my dad’s stories as well as my own. My family’s memories of LHS will last longer than the original Lynnwood High School building.
