Construction Update: Evergreen High School
At the new Evergreen High School, classrooms are getting carpet or other floor treatments, the checkout desk and bookshelves are installed in the library, and the commercial kitchen is taking shape.
Check out the acoustical panels on the walls and ceiling of the music room. See the cube-shaped LED lights and large-scale wall graphic being installed in the student commons.
In addition to energy-efficient LED lighting throughout, solar panels are being installed on a south-facing roof (see photo).
Crews from Cornerstone GCI are focused on finishing interior and exterior details to complete the new facility.
Outside
To keep site work on track this spring for the new main entrance area, parking and transportation routines will be adjusted in phases:
Parking & Student Drop-off Adjustments at Existing School
Starting April 14:
- The bus drop-off zone will be relocated to the north/student parking lot.
- Family drop-offs will move to the front of the current main office.
- Students will continue parking in the north lot near the turf field.
Starting May 5:
- Part of the staff parking lot (south/library lot) will be fenced off to begin work near the new school’s west-facing main entrance.
- Overflow staff parking will be available at the Evergreen Aquatics Center through the end of the school year.
Sidewalks, Landscaping and Power at New School
- Preliminary landscaping has begun.
- Crews continue pouring concrete for courtyards and pathways.
- Power to both buildings has been completed.
Inside the New Buildings
South Building
(Main Office, Commons, Food Servery, Gyms, Library, Music, Woodshop)
- Finish work continues on carpeting, countertops and paint.
- Kitchen equipment is being installed.
- Bleachers have been installed in the main gym.
- Built-in casework and student seating were installed in the upper commons.
- Initial cleaning and building system testing (commissioning) have begun.
North Building
(Classrooms)
- Damaged concrete floors from previous vandalism have been removed and replaced.
- Classroom floors are being finished with carpet or linoleum, depending on use.
- Casework (cabinets, shelves) has been installed in classrooms and hallways.
- Installation of science and classroom equipment continues.
Looking Ahead
We remain on budget and on schedule to open the new Evergreen High School in September 2025.
After school ends in June, staff teaching materials and equipment — like Promethean panels — will be moved from the current facility into the new one.
Once the old buildings are demolished, new baseball and softball fields will be built in their place at the southwest corner of campus.
