Construction Update
First phase of modernization and expansion at Lake Stevens High School complete
The first phase of the modernization and expansion of Lake Stevens High School is complete! The new learning spaces are being used by students and staff members. This includes a new three-story academic building for science and general education classrooms and the Learning Commons (library and student support center); a new athletic building, including a new gymnasium and swimming pool support spaces (reception, office and locker rooms). These spaces are connected by a student hub with easy access to administration, attendance, counseling, cafeteria, the business office and the COVE (student store). Make plans to join us at the Open House & Ribbon Cutting on Feb. 27. More information below.

In December the 400 building was turned over to construction crews. This space, which formerly housed the library and classrooms, will be used for Career and Technical Education and Special Education. Design and budgeting of the final stages of modernization and expansion is underway. 
On Jan. 16, athletes from the Lake Stevens High School swim teams took an inaugural dip in the modernized pool. What an exciting afternoon! Collectively, the teams spent more than 4,000 miles on the road for practices and swim meets this school year while the pool was under construction. Thank you to our coaches for their flexibility and relentlessness. The pool will open for high school classes for second semester, and for the public in late February. 

Modernization of the pool included replacement of pool mechanical systems (water and air treatment and circulation) for improved air quality, guest comfort and operability of the facility; resurfacing and ret iling the pool liner; cleaning and sealing the pool deck; expanded seating; and additional storage. Locker rooms were also expanded and modernized, and an additional single occupancy restroom was added. Pool staff members also have a revitalized staff room, and access to the adjacent Team Room for meetings and special events. 

We are excited to welcome our community to the modernized pool! We are working hard to train our new staff members and to finalize program offerings. Swimming lessons will begin in March with a limited schedule, and we will return to our full programming schedule following Spring Break. 

Follow the Lake Stevens School District Pool on  Facebook  and  Instagram  for updates. 
Please save the date for the Lake Stevens High School Community Ribbon Cutting, Thursday, Feb. 27, 2020 from 4 to 6 p.m. Guests will have the opportunity to explore the first phase of the new and modernized high school with self-guided tours. Light refreshments will also be served. More information will be shared in early February!
Hillcrest West welcomes students, staff
The week before Winter Break, Hillcrest Elementary School second- and third-grade students and staff members began using the newly-renovated Hillcrest West. This space is adjacent to Hillcrest and formerly housed the Early Learning Center. It features classrooms, new restrooms, an additional cafeteria, health room and collaboration spaces for teaching and learning.

Hillcrest continues to have the highest elementary student enrollment, and this additional space is necessary to best serve students.
