Superintendent Update on STEM Building Renovation

Last summer the Washington State legislature granted the San Juan Island School District a $1 million dollar capital gift to renovate the vocational/technology building behind Friday Harbor High School.

Since July a design team made up of district staff, the project manager, and community members have met weekly to creatively maximize the use of the space. The building will include a newly renovated look, updated electrical and mechanical systems, and fresh classrooms and work spaces.

We expect to widely advertise the renovation project for qualified contractors in March. The successful contractor will be chosen from a competitive pool of qualified firms who will examine the project closely. We encourage qualified local contractors to bid. Complete project plans will be available in the coming weeks. For more information please contact:
