The Highline School Board voted unanimously to place the next school bond on November 2022 election ballots. If approved by 60 percent of voters, the bond would fund new schools for Evergreen, Tyee and Pacific.
Evergreen Design
The 2016 bond funded the design for a new Evergreen High School with a capacity for 1200 students. Architects were selected and the design work began in 2019, paused in 2020 due to the pandemic and resumed in Fall 2021. We involved the Evergreen community in planning and design of their new school.
Construction of a new Evergreen High School will require funding from a future bond. Funding the school design with the 2016 bond will speed up the future construction process and save escalating construction costs. If the November 2022 bond receives 60% voter approval, then a new Evergreen High School could open in fall 2025. The new school would be rebuilt in the northeast corner of the site, so students can continue attending school in the existing buildings until the new school opens.
Stay tuned for community information meetings in fall 2022.
