We are dedicated to enhancing Puyallup High School. Over the next four years, our Capital Projects team will undertake a series of construction projects focused on building improvements, technology upgrades, safety and security enhancements, and outdoor program advancements. Each initiative is crucial in meeting the evolving needs of our students and staff.

With the generous support of our community, the 2024 Capital Levy funds will allow us to replace, improve, and restore essential public infrastructure. We are excited about the positive impact these enhancements will have on the educational experience throughout our district.

Stay informed about our progress by following us here or on social media @FoundationsForOurFuture as we move from planning to construction.

*Much of the funding included in this capital levy is not just related to systems that need replacement due to their age but are also tied to becoming compliant with the Clean Buildings Act. We agree that the intent of this legislation is good for improving our impact on the environment, conserving energy, and lowering our operations costs, however it will take a significant investment. Without funding, it will be impossible to reach the benchmarks required to avoid the fines that will be levied by the state. Those fines would be paid from the general fund and could be thousands of dollars, again, impacting the resources available for teaching and learning. Learn more about our CBA requirements.
