Shorecrest High School is a public high school (grades 9 through 12) in Shoreline, Washington, United States, one of two high schools in the Shoreline School District. Shorecrest was founded in 1961. Its mascot is Otis the Fighting Scot and students refer to themselves as "Scots", or the "Highlanders", a reference to the Clan Gordon.
The high school's 42-acre (17 ha) campus was originally on land leased from the Washington State Department of Natural Resources until the Shoreline School District bought it outright in 1985.[3] Shorecrest moved to a new building on the campus over two phases in 2012 and 2014 that cost $94 million to construct. The new buildings include a three-story academic building with a commons area and library, a separate gymnasium and athletic complex, and a performing arts center with a 450-seat theater.[4]
