100 Years of History

Washington Middle School was completed on Kenosha’s north side in 1919. It was initially built to serve 450 students. Along with the other middle schools being built in Kenosha at the time, it was named after a former president. 

In 1965 a 40,804 square foot addition was added to allow the school to grow along with the growing Kenosha population. This addition included a modern library, the cafeteria, and several classrooms on the first and second floors. An additional wing was built to house the locker rooms and gym. The osd and the new can be in the physical building but also in the spirit of Washington.
