Capital Projects
Promises Kept (2004 Bond)
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:
- Construct Little Cedars Elementary (opened fall 2007).
- Construct Glacier Peak High School (opened fall 2008).
- Snohomish High School Building D - This was the first phase of major renovation for Snohomish High School (opened October 2008).
- Parkway Campus - An existing facility was purchased and renovated to house AIM High School and other alternative programs.
