The Wenatchee School District is pleased to announce its sponsorship of the Free Summer Meals Program, providing no-cost breakfast and lunch to all children aged 18 and under during the summer.

The Wenatchee School District and architect firm Integrus wrapped up a busy and meaningful week of community engagement as the preliminary design process for a modernized Wenatchee High School moves into its final stretch.

The team took the conversation to the community — meeting families and residents at La Terraza in Downtown Wenatchee and Touch-A-Truck at WVC — before holding final meetings with the Student Design Advisory, Staff Design Advisory, and Community Design Advisory committees. At each meeting, Integrus presented a conceptual floor plan for a modernized WHS that reflects months of community input.

The plan preserves existing structures that are in good condition and hold significant value — including the pool, gyms, locker rooms, weight room, music classrooms, and auditorium — while building new spaces to replace and connect the rest of the campus. This saves the district upwards of $20-25 million on the project. New construction would include classrooms, commons, cafeteria, library, and other core school spaces, creating a fully modernized, connected campus designed for today's learners.

What's next:

• Integrus will use the conceptual plan to finalize construction costs, which will be presented to the School Board on June 10.
• The Board is then scheduled to take action on a final resolution to place the bond — including the final cost — on the November 2026 ballot at their June 23 meeting.

The district will continue collecting feedback through its online feedback form through the summer to help further refine the bond project.

Every spring, something special happens on the track — students from every Wenatchee School District elementary school lace up their shoes, find their lanes, and compete side by side in one of the district's most beloved traditions.

The WSD Elementary Track Meet has been a staple of our community for decades, bringing together young athletes from across the district for a day of friendly competition and school spirit.

Congratulations to all of our young athletes, and thank you to the coaches, staff, and families who make this tradition possible year after year.
