Bond Project Update: December 2024
Thank you, voters!
New Bethel High School
Construction on our biggest bond-funded project began earlier this year and the building is now taking shape! Thanks to our voters, who approved the 2019 School Construction Bond, the new Bethel High is scheduled to be completed in 2026!
Students who will attend the new Bethel High School when it opens had the opportunity to sign their name on a metal beam that is now part of the new building!
Evergreen Elementary Expansion
This school year, Evergreen Elementary staff and students are “glamping” at the old Naches Trail building, while Evergreen gets its extreme home makeover thanks to our voters! The much needed expansion of Evergreen Elementary is adding 10,000 square feet to the school, which includes eight additional classrooms and a new commons area. It is scheduled to be completed in 2025.
New Cedarcrest Middle School
Thanks to increased state funding, better-than-expected estimates, and responsible fiscal management, we are now able to proceed with building a new Cedarcrest Middle School instead of modernizing the existing one! More details to come on this project, but kudos to our Construction Team for their hard work ensuring our students and staff will have the best possible learning environment.
Bonds are for building, Levies are for Learning
In 2019, our voters approved a School Construction Bond to build new schools and renovate and expand old ones. Bond funding is kept separate from the rest of the district’s budget, including our levies that need to be renewed every four years. As the saying goes: Bonds are for Building, Levies are for Learning. Learn more at bethelsd.org/bond
