Juanita High School is a high school in Kirkland, Washington, administered by Lake Washington School District. It was opened on September 4, 1971, as a result of a campaign driven by an education theory known as the "Juanita Concept", developed by John Strauss, who became the school's first principal. It was later discovered that this concept did not work, primarily because of the passing of the "Basic Education Law" in the mid-1970s, resulting in the school later remodeling into a traditional format. The mascot chosen was the "rebel", to represent the rebellious nature of the teaching concept.
In June 2018, half the school was demolished and never rebuilt.
Mascot controversy
During the 1980s, the school's logo was altered, utilizing features of the Confederate flag, and depicting the "Running Rebel" as a Confederate soldier. In 2017, a student started a petition to change the mascot, citing the mascot's controversial historical ties to the Confederacy as racist. The students voted at the time to keep the mascot.
In 2020, alumni resurrected the petition, and the students voted to change the mascot to the Raven.
