Summary
Issaquah School District announced construction has begun on a new high school intended to ease overcrowding and allow reconfiguration of programs, with the district aiming to welcome students in 2027.
A presenter for the Issaquah School District announced the district has broken ground on a new high school and expects to welcome students in 2027. The construction, the presenter said, is intended to reduce overcrowding at existing high schools and allow the district to "reimagine and think concretely" about programming and learning opportunities.

No construction contract value, site name, or exact timeline beyond the 2027 student opening was specified.
District officials did not provide a detailed budget, contractor names, or phased schedule in the announcement. The presenter said the district will provide more information "in the coming months and upcoming year" as it prepares to launch the school. There was no vote or formal board action recorded in the transcript regarding the project during this announcement.
