Our community came together in important ways to make the 2004 bond projects happen. A citizen-led committee (CFAC) studied our schools in 2003 and developed a long-range plan.
Our community initially demonstrated its support by approving a $141.5 million bond measure in May 2004. Our community stepped up time and again with generous contributions of time, knowledge, and other resources to make the new schools possible.
Hundreds of parents, students, teachers, support staff, and community members met together to determine everything from the schools' boundaries, educational specifications, and building design to school names, mascots, and colors.
These are the projects completed under the 2004 bond:
Little Cedars Elementary School
A new elementary school was completed and opened to students Fall of 2007.
Glacier Peak High School
The district's second high school was completed and opened to students Fall of 2008.
Snohomish High School Building D
This project, the first phase of major renovation for Snohomish High, was opened October 2008. Building D houses Career and Technical Education, digital arts, science, and math.
Parkway/Alternative Education Center
An existing facility was purchased and renovated to house AIM High School and other alternative programs. This was the first stage of this project.
In May of 2008, voters approved a second capital projects bond of $261.6 million for new renovation and construction projects.
