context_page_description: Denny International Middle School is a middle school in West Seattle, the southwest portion of Seattle, Washington. Operated by Seattle Public Schools. It is named for David T. Denny, one of Seattle’s early settlers and an early member of the Seattle School Board. The school shares a campus with Chief Sealth International High School which together provide a joint facility for students in grades 6-12. The school's student population is racially and culturally diverse and the programs offered reflect this.
context_section_description: The school opened in 1952 as David T. Denny Junior High School at 8401 30th Avenue SW.  The facility was designed for 900 students but in 1959-1963 enrollment was over 1,600.  In 1982–83, Denny went to 7–8 configuration, in 1989–90 to a 6-8 configuration, and in 2010 it was renamed Denny International Middle School to reflect its focus on international focus studies and foreign languages.
  In September 2011 the school was relocated from its original location to the nearby campus of Chief Sealth International High School.  Both schools remain distinct within the shared facility, although some spaces such as the renovated CSIHS auditorium and the new Galleria are shared between the schools.  The design of the renovation and expansion was undertaken by Bassetti Architects of Seattle.  The school remains in close proximity to the Southwest Athletic Complex, which features a 4000-seat outdoor stadium, and a community center and pool operated by the City of Seattle.  The former site was converted to a school district-owned community park that includes tennis courts and a softball field.
  During the 1992-93 school year, principal Joan Allen died and a garden was dedicated to her memory.  A garden at the new facility carries her name.
