Source-derived summary

Kootenai Junior/Senior High School is a rural public secondary school located 7 miles south of Harrison, Idaho, serving families on the eastern side of Lake Coeur d'Alene to the State Highway 3 corridor between Rose Lake and Saint Maries.

The school formerly housed 7-12th grades in a single building, built in 1957 at the E. O'Gara Road location, but an additional building was added in 2003 to provide separate facilities for upper and lower grades. Harrison Elementary School has been at the E. O'Gara Road location since 1985, making it almost as old as some of the teachers who work there.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

“Kootenai Junior/Senior High School” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Kootenai, Junior and Senior provides the most credible route into that argument.

Evidence profile

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 Aug 24, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q6430808. Authority coordinates are 47.399, -116.670. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1957, 2003 and 1985.

Critical limits

Official terminology may obscure informal participation, dissent or communities documented only indirectly. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Compare institutional narratives with records created by participants and affected communities. Dates and formal titles are useful anchors, but not substitutes for context.
