Bremerton High School is a high school located in the port city of Bremerton, Washington, west across Puget Sound from Seattle, at 1500 13th Street. It is the main of two high schools in the Bremerton School District and currently facilitates students in grades 10 through 12. The school is currently in a renovating state making room for the incoming 9th grade who has been since held at the Bremerton Jr. High School which is currently called the Bremerton 8th Grade School and the Freshman Academy. This will make the school into a 9-12th grade high school.

School Colors, Mascot, and Emblem

Bremerton High School's mascot is the Knight. The school's traditional colors are Royal Blue and Gold. The official emblem is a Knight on a horse carrying a lance surrounded by a major arc with "Bremerton High School" written upon it. The origin of the school colors and mascot comes from the unification of West Bremerton Wildcats, whose colors were blue and gold, and the East Bremerton Knights, whose colors were red and silver. They chose the colors of West Bremerton and the mascot of East Bremerton giving us Bremerton High School's Knight along with Royal Blue and Gold as its colors.

Fight Song

The Bremerton High School Fight Song is set to the melody of Anchors Aweigh. It is repeated a second time with shortened notes for the "Spell Off" (e.g. "K!N!...") then finishes the same as it did the first time.

Fight for the blue and gold,
Fight for your school
We never will say die,
We're with you win or lose that's why
So proudly our cheers will ring
Up to the sun
Bring back those victories Knights
And make the others bow to Bremerton.
K!N!I!G!H!T!S! Go Knights!
That's why so proudly our cheers will ring
Up to the sun
Bring back those victories Knights
And make the others bow to Bremerton.
