New Building Dedication and Open House Video

Please enjoy this video of the Open House event we hosted on May 10 for our new, beautiful campus.

The Open House honored three significant figures in the school’s history. The school’s library was dedicated to RBHS advocate and former school board member Betty Patu; the athletic complex was dedicated to legendary boy’s basketball coach Mike Bethea; and the basketball court was dedicated to NBA legend and Rainier Beach alum Jamal Crawford.

The new Rainier Beach is well-deserved and a source of pride for the community, serving as a symbol of hope that replaces the older, deteriorating facility. This new home of the Vikings was a collective effort, built “for us, by us,” with former students actively participating in the construction.
