School Construction

Ironworkers are busy erecting the structural steel bones of the new Tyee High School this month. See exciting progress in construction site photos.

In March, school board and cabinet members, as well as two alumni and a state representative, toured the Evergreen High School construction site to get a first-hand view. They seemed delighted with progress, new features and the warmth of the three-story mass timber academic building. See what they saw.

The two general contractors building our new high schools hosted a group of almost 50 students from our CORE PLUS Construction programs for a hands-on learning experience last month. They visited the Northwest Carpenters Institute, a state-of-the-art training facility in Burlington. The field trip included students and teachers from Evergreen, Tyee and Highline high schools!

John Taitano walked onto the Tyee job site last fall to ask if Absher Construction was hiring. He already had a construction job, but this was his old high school and close to home. Read about our priority hire program at the Tyee construction project.

Mechanical, electrical and plumbing leads from Highline's Facilities team were invited to review the Pacific Middle School design. Read our February project update.

Our Capital Projects Oversight Committee learned about our construction progress and examined a quarterly financial report for our 2016 and 2022 bond projects at the February 13, 2024 meeting.
