Broadway High School Association dissolves, but legacy lives on
The Broadway High School Alumni Association, which had been active for decades since the school’s closure in 1946, held its last meeting ever in early September. After decades of an active and productive membership, the association collectively decided to dissolve due to its aging membership base.
Broadway High School graduated many distinguished alums, including Herman Sarkowsky, who helped found the Seattle Seahawks. He passed away in early November at the age of 89.
Seattle Central’s campus sits on the site of Broadway’s original campus, and this connection fostered a strong bond between the college and the association’s members. Over the years, the association supported Seattle Central and its students, most notably through several endowed scholarships. The association invested $10,000 of its remaining funds to create a website for its vast archives, currently stored in the Broadway Performance Hall.
