The school is named for David T. Denny, one of Seattle’s early settlers and an early member of the Seattle School Board. Denny opened as a Middle School in 1952.
The new Denny International Middle School nearing the end of construction on the Chief Sealth International High School campus will open in a ribbon cutting ceremony Sept. 6 at 1:00 pm. A community celebration will take place on Sept. 24. at 10:00 am where both schools will share a combined facility but will remain separate entities.
According to the BEX page on the Seattle Schools website, "In April, work was nearly completed on the Chief Sealth International High School library high roof replacement. At Denny International Middle School, the contractor completed installation of classroom projectors, casework and flooring, and interior doors and hardware. Work continues on concrete paving in the north Denny courtyard. The greenhouse and toolshed were installed at the Denny wetlands restoration classroom. Fire alarm testing by Seattle Fire Department began.
In May, the Chief Sealth library roof project will be completed. At Denny International Middle School, the contractors will complete landscaping plantings, installation of tackable surfaces and wainscoting, and final cleaning. A traffic circle will be constructed at SW Kenyon and 26th Ave SW."
