Bond Project Update: April 2024

Thank you, voters!

New Bethel High School

Construction on the New Bethel High School broke ground in March! The timeline for the project is currently 27 months.

Expedition Elementary

Construction crews are making amazing progress on our newest bond-funded school, Expedition Elementary. The 66,000-square-foot building, which will be located in the Lipoma Firs Community, will house about 500 students in 27 general classrooms and various shared spaces when it opens this fall.

Evergreen Elementary Expansion

The much needed expansion of Evergreen Elementary is scheduled to begin this month! This project will add 10,000 square feet to the school, which will include eight additional classrooms and a new commons.

The main part of the construction will take place once school gets out for the summer. The old Naches Trail Elementary will become home to the Evergreen Elementary staff and students for the 2024/25 school year while the renovation and expansion of their school takes place.

Cedarcrest Middle School

We’re excited to announce that we have completed the selection process for the Cedardrest Middle School Renovation & Expansion project. The district recommended and the School Board approved BCRA, Inc. of Tacoma to perform the architectural services.

Our construction team recently conducted a Feasibility Study for the project to better realize the options available to them before starting the design work. This study will help them assess the needs and budget parameters, so we don’t run into any issues along the way.
