History
Interlake High School opened in 1968.[3] In 1997, Interlake began offering the International Baccalaureate program.[4]
In 2003, most of the school was torn to the ground and rebuilt while its students continued to attend class in portables. The new building opened at the beginning of the 2005-2006 school year, however the portables still exist to date and are continually in use.[5]
