Why do we call it Naramore?

Seattle Public Schools has held the Naramore Art Show since 1985 to celebrate the success of our arts students and share their learning with our community.

Floyd A. Naramore, whose name is honored by this exhibition, was a visionary architect who invested deeply in his community and in the education of our students. He designed over 22 schools, including Roosevelt, Garfield, and Cleveland high schools, and several middle school buildings.
