Currently the principal is Simón Iñiguez.[2]

Small Schools

In 2007, Evergreen High School was closed and replaced by three small high schools, which was part of a district-wide effort (originally funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation) to increase student achievement levels.[3] The three small schools were named: Technology, Engineering & Communications School (TEC), Health Sciences & Human Services High School (HS3), and Arts & Academics Academy (AAA).[4] Beginning in the 2017–2018 school year, the small schools were disbanded and the campus was re-unified as Evergreen High School.[5]

Athletics

Evergreen's sports teams are known as the Wolverines. Their colors are green and white.[6][7]

Formerly members of the now defunct Seamount League,[8] Evergreen is a member of the Mountain Division of the 2A South Puget Sound League since the 2016–17 school year.[9] Evergeen was the 1968 North Puget Sound League Basketball champion, and finished 3rd in the State Basketball Championship.

From 1969–1982, the WIAA Boys State Cross Country Championships were held at Evergreen High School.[10] The WIAA Girls State Cross Country Championships were held at the Evergreen course from 1976 to 1982.[10]
