Garfield School Design Team
James A. Garfield High School is one of the flagship high schools in the Seattle Public Schools. Originally opened in 1923, the buildings and grounds will undergo a $78.8 million renovation starting in June, 2006, and completing in September, 2008, under the aegis of the SPS Facilities Department.

The Garfield School Design Team is composed of faculty, staff, students, parents, alumni, and friends of Garfield, and its purpose is to assist the architects and Seattle Public Schools building renovation professionals in creating a world-class design for the rejuvenated Garfield High School physical plant.
