It was the only High School in Pasco until 2009 when Chiawana High School, in West Pasco opened its doors. In 2006, the voters of Pasco approved a $90 million+ bond to construct a new high school on Argent and Road 84 to ease the overcrowding of Pasco High. The new school, Chiawana High, opened in the fall of 2009 along Argent Street. During the time of construction, the school has turned the old Captain Gray Elementary School, located at 1102 N. 10th Avenue into an annex, where a majority of freshman classes are held. Additionally, the school makes use of over 50 portable classrooms. When Chiawana High opened, the annex once again became Captain Gray Elementary. Pasco High is one of Washington state's largest high schools; it is classified as a 4A school (the classification for the largest schools in that state) and has an enrollment of more than 1,800 students.[2] AcademicsDue to the quantity of relatively poor families in Pasco, college is a difficult or even impossible option for some students and Pasco High School has programs to train these students in various occupational areas, though these programs have had little success over all and are generally considered an excuse not to try for college (not bad in all cases as it is often impossible). One of these is the "Bulldog House" where students help build a house in the community and sell it, with the proceeds going towards next year's house and various scholarships. One avenue pursued to overcome prejudice and inequity in the Hispanic community has been the pursuit of academic excellence and participation in the Hispanic Academic Achievers Program (HAAP) where students and families are recognized annually for the student maintaining a 3.0 or greater GPA. Senior HAAP members also apply for substantial scholarships to college and act as role models to younger siblings making it possible for the next generation to be even more competitive in the USA. Pasco has made Newsweek magazine's annual "Newsweek's Best American High Schools" list many times. This list includes the top 6% of schools in the nation. The schools are ranked according to the Challenge Index. “The Washington Post Challenge Index measures a public high school’s effort to challenge its students. The formula is simple: divide the number of Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate or Cambridge tests a school gave by the number of seniors who graduated in June. Tests taken by all students, not just seniors, are counted.” Pasco High School placed during the following years: 2004 - Placed 876th 2005 - Placed 905th 2007 - Placed 913th 2009 - Placed 853rd Source: Pasco School District Website[3] AthleticsPasco High School's mascot are the Bulldogs.

Pasco High School's Boys Soccer Team has also been extremely successful. They have won two state championships in 1999 and 2007. The team has been ranked as high as 3rd in the nation (1999) and 4th in 2007. They have made the playoffs for 14 straight years. in 2009 they were set to be first in the nation but lost the State Champ game 1-2 and dropped to 15th in the nation.
