The City of Olympia Parks, Arts and Recreation Department is considering a partnership with the Olympia School District to co-locate a new secondary school at Yelm Highway Community Park. The potential partnership would place a new high school on park land at 5000 Yelm Highway, which could save the district money and provide better access for students. The Parks Department has been seeking public input on the proposal, with meetings held in November 2020. The city and school district are currently assessing the feasibility of the project, including potential impacts on park use and recreational programs. The Parks Department stated they are "trying to get your input" on the idea, which was first proposed in November 2020.
