Eastlake High School addition
As part of the 2022 Building Excellence Construction Levy, voters approved funding additional high school capacity on the eastside of the district. At the April 15, 2024 school board meeting, the LWSD Board of Directors approved redirecting the funds from the High School 10/Site 59 project to instead build additions at Eastlake and Redmond High Schools. This plan will add 24 permanent classrooms between two schools and will modify core space such as commons and hallways at each of the schools.
