Stewart Intermediate School under construction in 1925. The school was designed by Roland Borhek, architect, and was originally designated as the South Central Intermediate School. It opened in September of 1925 as the James P. Stewart school, honoring Tacoma's first school teacher. It was the second of six planned intermediate schools provided for under a special bond passed in October of 1923. On completion, Tacoma would educate on a 6-3-3 plan (6 years at elementary, 3 at intermediate, 3 at high school.) The plan was designed to prevent overcrowding and reduce expenses. Stewart is still in use today with additions in 1964, 1974 and 1983. (WSHS- negative A854-0) (TNT 9/3/1925, pg. 17)
