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.
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.
Pacific Middle School will host a groundbreaking ceremony and a last walk through the existing school on Tuesday, June 3 at 4:00 p.m.
