Pacific Middle School
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.
