You can view a free screening of Broadway Pride — and say goodbye to the proud alumni group behind the production — at the Broadway Performance Hall Monday night.

CHS wrote about the movie as it came together in 2013 to document the school that educated Seattle teens on the corner of Broadway and Pine until 1946 when a college was created to meet the demand for higher education as young troops came home from war.

In late 2014, the Broadway High School Association announced it had held its last meeting “due to its aging membership base.”

The documentary will be presented Monday at 5:30 PM at the site where the students once attended school in a free event sponsored by Historic Seattle:

Join us at Broadway Performance Hall for a screening of Broadway Pride: A Video History of Broadway High School. Tony Ogilvie and Alumni Association archivist Jeff Watts, who coordinated the video project, will introduce it. Seattle’s first purpose-built high school was opened in 1902 on Capitol Hill. Designed by the firm of William E. Boone and J. M. Corner, the building quickly filled with students from throughout the city—and even beyond. Its original name, Seattle High School, changed to Broadway High School in 1909. In addition to daytime academic classes, it had evening classes and a handwork and trades program at the adjoining Edison Technical School. The school closed following World War II, but its active alumni association collected papers, photographs, yearbooks, and oral histories. In 1966, Seattle Community College purchased the building. In 1974 the building was razed for a new one and only the school’s auditorium section was reused, combining stones salvaged from the front entrance on Broadway in a new façade for the renamed Broadway Performance Hall.
