Information from Highline Public Schools

Starting Monday, April 29, the west parking lot next to the Evergreen High School Field will be closed for construction. This is part of the long-awaited school replacement project.

To ensure the new school opens by September 2025, it's crucial to start the parking lot work now. The parking lot closure will last through the summer.

Community members using the field as a rental or for recreation after school hours may access the field on the northwest side and park in the Cascade Middle School parking areas. 

Here is information shared with Evergreen families and students this week:

What you need to know starting April 29

Student Parking

Students can park in the two rows closest to the round building in the main school parking lot on SW 116th Street. Please ensure students have an official parking permit.

Student Drop-off and Pick-up

Please use the main parking lot driving loop — east of the main entrance — for dropping off and picking up students. 

• From SW 116th Street, enter the driveway east of the school's front entrance driveway, turn right to drive down the first row of parking and follow the driving loop next to the school curb.

• Drop off and pick up students in the marked area next to the round building. 

• Remember, exiting the main parking lot will be a right turn only.
   

Bus Service

• Buses will pick up and drop off students in the drive-through lane in front of the main school entrance — not in the main parking lot.

• Please don't drive through the main entrance loop during bus pick-up or drop-off times. Use the main parking lot loop, east of the main entrance.

Field Access

During school hours and for athletic events, students can access the Evergreen Field through a gate on campus. Community members using the field after hours can use the gate near Cascade Middle School. 

Map & Signs 

For detailed directions, please see the map for students and families, showing the temporary student parking area, along with the revised bus and vehicle loops. School staff will have additional off-campus parking available from the southeast entrance of the Evergreen Pool parking lot during this time.

Highline Public Schools and its contractor Cornerstone GCI are committed to making this transition as smooth as possible and will be posting signs for clarity. For more information and a map showing field access for community members, visit gethps.info/April-29.
