Renton School District

2019 Bond Projects

The 2019 Construction Bond raised nearly $250 million. The measure includes building a new elementary school (Hilltop Heritage) in the Highlands/Sunset neighborhood, upgrading science classrooms at the high schools, updates to schools and classrooms throughout the district, updates to the community swimming pool at Hazen High School, field improvements, and safety/security upgrades. 

Projects for the 2019 Bond were chosen through a study that included input from principals, school staff, district Capital Planning and Facilities staff, and an architectural and engineering review of all sites. The district convened a Citizens' Facilities Advisory Committee of parents and community members to collect input on the proposed projects. The project list was then presented to school board members for consideration and approval.

There are 155 projects included in the 2019 Bond program.

High school Science Classroom Upgrades

Project Managers have worked closely with staff to establish a scope of work for each of the three comprehensive high schools.  This effort identified the needs for updated science classrooms through renovation of existing spaces and new construction. A primary focus of the planning stage was to build equitable learning spaces at the three high schools, as well as classrooms that will continue to support rigorous and evolving curricular class offerings. The Science classroom upgrades and new construction at Lindbergh and Renton High Schools were completed in 2023. Hazen High School's science classroom upgrades were combined with a larger high school modernization project and are expected to be complete in 2027.
