Why this record matters
The subject matters to the history & society register because the source frames it as high school in Burlington, Washington. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
The record creator and administrative purpose are central evidence, because official documentation reflects both action and institutional priorities. The source revision retrieved here is dated May 16, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q4999192. Authority coordinates are 48.478, -122.337. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 1 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1943, 2013 and 2014.
