🎓 EVHS Seniors are Future Ready!
EVHS seniors spent the day exploring opportunities and preparing for life after high school!
Students connected with regional colleges and universities, the Associated General Contractors, and the Machinists Institute to learn more about college and career pathways. Many even took the next step by starting or completing their college applications!
Seniors also put their financial skills to the test during STCU’s My Life. My Money. budget simulation, where they gained valuable hands-on experience managing real-world finances.
From exploring future careers to making important financial decisions, our seniors enjoyed a day full of learning, planning, and taking important steps toward their futures!
The future looks bright for our Knights! 💚🖤
Students in both sixth-grade classes were challenged to build the tallest tower they could using only toothpicks and marshmallows. Along the way, they put their creativity and problem-solving skills to the test while learning to collaborate and communicate with their new classmates.
What a fun way to start the year and build connections—one marshmallow at a time!
Our CCS Dragons had a great time celebrating at their Trunk or Treat event! From creative costumes and decorated trunks to plenty of treats and smiles, it was a fun-filled event for everyone!
A big thank you to everyone who helped make this event so special for our students and families! 🧡🍬
Trentwood's Book Buzz wall gives students a place to share reviews of stories they’ve read and recommend their favorites to their classmates. It’s a fun way for students to discover their next great read while sharing their love of books with one another!
CCS kindergarten through 2nd-grade students got a hands-on introduction to the world of healthcare during a special Teddy Bear Clinic!
With the help of 20 East Valley High School HOSA (Health Occupations Students of America) students, our youngest learners stepped into the role of doctors, caring for their very own teddy bear patients! Each student received a teddy bear and stethoscope and learned how to take a medical history, listen to heartbeats, and measure their patient's height and weight.
Our high school students served as mentors, guiding the younger students through each activity while helping them build confidence, curiosity, and an understanding of healthcare.
Students practiced introducing themselves, asking thoughtful questions, actively listening, and turning conversations into meaningful stories.
One of the highlights was watching our upperclassmen mentor and encourage younger students, helping them build confidence and make genuine connections. The room was filled with curiosity, laughter, and great conversations!
From job interviews and FFA activities to community networking and yearbook storytelling, these are valuable skills students will carry with them well beyond the classroom.

Throughout the project, students gained hands-on experience while learning about framing, studs, scale models, and other important elements of construction and design. It was a great opportunity to put their new skills and knowledge into practice!
Our schools are building school spirit and creating identities that are uniquely their own!
During the district’s K–8 era, many of our schools adopted the Knights mascot and continued using it for years. Now, schools are embracing the opportunity to create their own sense of identity, pride, and belonging through new mascots and logos that represent their individual school communities.
We are proud to introduce the Trent Wildcats, East Valley Parent Partnership Owls, and East Farms Panthers! These new identities are helping students and staff build traditions, strengthen school pride, and celebrate what makes each of our schools special.
Students have been exploring line, pattern, and color while developing their artistic skills. These first graders were especially proud to show off their oil pastel otters, complete with beautifully painted backgrounds!
We can’t wait to see what these talented young artists create next as they continue to learn, explore, and grow!
Students toured the mine site, tried on safety gear, and even had the chance to pan for gold and garnets. They also learned about the impact human activities can have on wildlife and their habitats through hands-on activities like habitat building and mock mining.
Otis Orchards’ Literacy Night was a huge success! 📚✨
Our principals do so much more than lead their buildings. They support students and staff, partner with families, celebrate successes, navigate challenges, and work each day to create welcoming schools where students can learn, grow, and feel a sense of belonging.
Their leadership, dedication, and commitment help shape the culture of our schools and make a lasting difference for students, staff, and families.
We are proud to celebrate our East Valley Principals and grateful for their leadership, dedication, and commitment to our students, staff, families, and community.
Happy National Principals Month!
Individually, Aurora Beal placed 5th and Jonah Clay placed 13th out of 121 contestants.
Congratulations to our EVHS FFA students on a great showing!
At East Valley High School, the graduation rate has reached an all-time high of 91.4%—an incredible accomplishment that reflects the dedication and commitment of our students, staff, and families.
The EVHS team also set an ambitious goal of reaching a 65% FAFSA completion rate to help more students access financial aid opportunities after graduation. Not only did they meet that goal, they exceeded it, finishing the year at more than 70%!
Students spent time learning about Japanese culture through games, conversations, and origami while making new connections along the way.
By sharing their cultures and learning from one another, students formed new friendships and showed that belonging can reach far beyond our own community. 🌎❤️
The event gave students and families an opportunity to get to know one another, build connections, and get excited for the year ahead.
East Valley High School juniors joined high school students from across the area at the Spokane Convention Center for Money IRL, a first-of-its-kind event that brings financial education to life.
Through hands-on activities and real-world scenarios, EVHS students gained practical experience with budgeting, spending, saving, and making informed financial decisions—helping prepare them to confidently manage their finances in the future.
