Under a sunny June sky, gold shovels tied with green ribbons broke ground in front of Pacific Middle School — symbolizing the start of a long-awaited new chapter. More than 200 students, families, alumni, elected officials and community members gathered to celebrate the future and say goodbye.

New Pacific To Open Fall 2027
With voter approval of the 2022 bond, a new Pacific Middle School will be constructed with a capacity for 950 students. Starting September 2025, students will attend school for two years at the Olympic Interim Site in Des Moines. A new Pacific is expected to open September 2027.
The 2016 bond funded the initial design work for a new Pacific Middle School. Architects were selected, and we involved the Pacific community in planning and designing a new school. See the timeline and design. Keep track of our progress in the news updates.
