It serves students in grades 9–12 in the southern part of the Bellevue School District, including the neighborhoods of Eastgate, Factoria, Newport Hills, Newport Shores, Somerset, The Summit, and Sunset. As of the 2017-2018 school year, the principal is Dion Yahoudy. The mascot is the Knight, and the school colors are scarlet and gold.[2] HistoryNewport High School was built in 1963 and opened in the fall of 1964 to accommodate Bellevue's growing population.[3] Prior to construction, students in the Eastgate, Somerset and Newport Hills neighborhoods went to Sammamish High School and Bellevue High School. The first graduating class was of 1966.{{Citation needed|date=October 2007}} From 2005 to 2008, the school went through a major construction project. A new three story building replaced the original classrooms, library, and offices. The original buildings remained in use during construction of the new building. The project included extensive remodeling of the gyms and locker rooms. In early 2007, students and teachers moved into the new building. The old buildings were demolished to replace a baseball field and a softball field displaced by the new building.[4] The project cost $54 million.[4] DemographicsIn the 2017-2018 school year, the total student enrollment was 1,772. The demographics are: 1% Black/African American, 6% Hispanic, 7% Multi-Ethnic, 48% Asian and 36% White. 35% of students speak a first language other than English. 6% of students receive ELL service, and 13% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch.[5] AchievementsDue to its extensive Advanced Placement course offering, Newport High School has consistently been ranked in the Top 100 List of Best High Schools by Newsweek Magazine as measured by the number of AP tests taken divided by the number of seniors in the school, ranking 37th as of 2006, 31st as of 2008, 34th in 2009[6] and most recently 118 in 2014.[7] Newport was also selected as a Blue Ribbon School of Excellence in 2003 by the U.S. Department of Education.[8] In 2005 Newport High School's World History program was recognized as exemplary in the College Board's Report To The Nation based on its top-ranking pass rate on the national AP World History exam.[9] Another achievement includes the DECA (Distributive Education Classes of America) program, which is a competition offered through Newport's Marketing Classes. TechnologyDuring the 2004–2005 school year, the Bellevue School District made a push to buy Smart Boards for all classrooms, accompanied by Dell projectors which are mounted into the ceiling.[10] In the 2016-17 school year they decided to hand out Lenovo Yoga laptops known as the One-to-One Technology program. This includes teaching with OneNote. Some of the technology related courses include the NHS Cisco academy, including CCNP classes, and Advanced Placement Computer Science.[2] One technical class is the advanced video production program. The production studio has a professional level green room, studio cameras, Apple computers for editing, and a fully equipped audio room.

Link-crew is a semester-long class for Juniors and Seniors, where everyone is assigned a group of freshmen, and these students help the freshmen adjust to high school life.[13] Leadership is either semester- or year-long, and in this class students (Sophomore standing or above) learn various leadership techniques which they put to use in projects such as Adopt-a-Family, which raises money for local needy families during the holiday season. ASPEN, which stands for AIDS, Student Peer Educators at Newport, is Newport's advanced health class, in which students learn extensively about HIV/AIDS, and then teach other students about STDs, HIV/AIDS, and safe sex practices. In 2009, they raised over $44,000 for Lifelong AIDS Alliance, making them the second biggest contributors only behind Microsoft, and in 2010 they raised over $51,000 easily the largest amount of any team in the walk.[14]{{Citation needed|date=March 2009}} AVID (advancement via individual determination) is designed for students who are taking courses the students feel are challenging. This class teaches study skills, and students practice college entrance examinations and essays.
