[edit] Facilities
Evergreen High School is located on a large parcel of land that it shares with Cascade Middle School, Legacy High School (an alternative education facility), Burton Elementary School, McKenzie Stadium, and the school district warehouse and bus barn. Evergreen was originally built at the corner of 18th Street and 137th Avenue. When the current building was constructed in the 1970s on the east side of the parcel, Cascade Junior High (now Middle School) was opened in the original building. The aging, original building was demolished in the summer of 2004 after the completion of Cascade's new abutting campus to the north. The original site is now a multi-use sports field.
As the oldest high school building in the district, Evergreen was jokingly called "Ghetto-Green" by other rival high schools in the Evergreen School District before the completion of a multi-year renovation project in 2007.
[edit] Evergreen Marching Band
Evergreen boasts an award winning marching band. They recently were invited to play at the inauguration parade for President Barack Obama[1]

In 2004, the EHS Football team became the first Washington Interscholastic Activities Association division 4A team from the Southwest Washington region to make a state championship game. After falling behind early 14-0 to Skyline, the Plainsmen rallied to win the game. Running back Taylor Rank stood out for the Plainsmen, carrying the ball 28 times for 211 yards and three touchdowns. Rank played football at the University of South Carolina until graduation in 2009. [2]
2009 graduate Kyrell Hudson was recently drafted by the Philadelphia Phillies[3]
