Pasco’s Sageview High School hits construction milestone, on track to open next year
It was a milestone moment for Pasco School District as construction workers installed the final steel beam at the new Sageview High School.
Community members, school district staff and construction workers came together to watch the historic moment, and put a signature on the beam, marking the school’s structure as complete on Thursday.
The district’s third comprehensive high school, at 6091 Burns Road, is still set to open in fall 2025.
Sitting on a 65-acre campus, the 300,000-square-foot building will serve 2,000 students. It’s the newest high school to be built since Chiawana High opened in 2009.
The school is one of the projects being funded by a 21-year, $195.5 million capital bond measure passed by voters in 2023.
That bond also will pay for a new technical high school, Orion High, in east Pasco; various athletic field and facility improvements at Pasco High; career and technology modernization at both existing high schools and to buy land for future schools.
Sageview will cost more than $185 million. District taxpayers will pay about $140 million of that. Washington state expects to contribute $45 million.
