Redmond 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.

Earlier this week, staff, students and families at Redmond High School (RHS) were notified of an important update regarding the planned addition at their school. Due to extended design and city permitting timelines, we will be unable to meet our original project schedule.

Over the summer, construction teams made progress on three major projects for the 2025-26 school year: rebuilding and enlarging Rockwell Elementary, and additions at Eastlake High School (EHS) and Redmond High School (RHS). These projects are funded by the 2022 Building Excellence Capital Construction Levy approved by voters.

Join us for an informational meeting on Wednesday, April 30 at 7 p.m. in the Redmond High School commons.
In a previous edition of Connections we shared that the LWSD Board of Directors has approved the redirecting of levy funds to build additions and modify core spaces at both Eastlake High School and Redmond High School.
At their April 15 meeting, the Lake Washington School District (LWSD) Board of Directors approved redirecting levy funds from the 2022 Building Excellence Construction Levy. LWSD will hold on construction at Site 59 in Sammamish and will redirect these funds to build additions at Eastlake High School and Redmond High School.
