The school featured a central vacuuming system. It also used wind tunnels as part of the heating system. John F. Kennedy visited Washington High School in 1960 while running for president and spoke to a full auditorium. After building a new senior high school Washington became a junior high school from 1965 through 1999.
No longer a school, the building faced destruction. Local people argued against tearing the building down. Working together, public and private money saved and reopened it as The Washington Center in 2003.
