Occupancy Phase
Project overview
Evergreen Middle School (formerly Totem Middle School) serves sixth through eighth-grade students in a 55-year old building, with the lowest overall building condition rating in Federal Way Public Schools. The current building was constructed in 1963 and was ranked in the top 10 schools needing to be rebuilt by the Facilities Planning Committee.
Evergreen Middle School is being rebuilt alongside Star Lake Elementary, and the design currently being developed contains some shared spaces, allowing for more opportunities for deliberate collaboration these two schools.

Ongoing Community Engagement
