May 2020 Update
The Evergreen synthetic turf football and soccer field is full steam ahead. Check out the new light poles installed in May. Synthetic turf is expected to get unrolled in June. We expect the field to be completed this summer.
Workers are preparing the new field, inside the existing track, between Evergreen High School and Cascade Middle School.
School-related construction projects are within the category of public works and may continue with precautions in place to limit the spread of COVID-19. The earthwork is being performed by a limited number of construction workers.

We are grateful for the following grants totaling $700,000 to help fund the $1.84 million synthetic turf field and $423,500 lighting project:
