Why We're Here
Aging & Failing Facilities
Wenatchee High School is rated "Poor" in physical condition with outdated 50-year-old systems.
Overcrowding
WHS operates at 104% utilization, with undersized classrooms and limited learning space.
Costly Delays
Construction costs continue rising 5–7% per year. Waiting makes the problem more expensive.

A Community-Developed Plan
Your Neighbors Helped Build This Plan
After 15 months and nine work sessions, a diverse community committee reached consensus on a plan to replace Wenatchee High School and modernize HVAC across the District.

A Responsible Investment
The Funding Solution:
- Estimated total project cost: $372.9M (including escalation to 2029)
- Recommended bond amount: $295M
- Unlocks up to $79M in state matching funds
- Estimated tax impact: $1.48 per $1,000 AV
Voters turned down a 2018 bond measure to address these issues by approximately 300 votes. If it would have passed then, our students would be learning in a new school already.
Waiting any longer will result in more system failures and rising construction costs.
