Mariner High School enjoys a rich heritage as the first high school in the District. Opened in 1971, the building originally offered 178,000 ft.² of usable space. In 1983, a weight room was added and in 1994, office, auxiliary gym, and theater spaces brought the total square footage to 198,219 ft.². Currently, the school has two gymnasiums, swimming and diving pools, a 162-seat theater, six computer labs, a publishing center, a photo lab, and 78 classrooms. Fourteen portables are added to classroom space. Completing the site is Goddard Stadium, with an approximate seating capacity of 2500, opened in 1972, and modernized in 1990, 1995, and 1996. The field hosts district-wide track and field, football, and soccer events.
