On Friday, June 26, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. at Ten Trails Parkway SE, Black Diamond, WA 98010, the Enumclaw School District will host the groundbreaking ceremony of Evergreen Elementary, a meaningful milestone in the district’s continued commitment to serving students, families, and the Black Diamond community.
Evergreen Elementary will be the district’s newest elementary school and will serve students and families in the growing Ten Trails area as part of the broader Enumclaw School District community. The groundbreaking marks the beginning of construction on a project years in the making and reflects thoughtful planning, collaboration, and a shared commitment to meeting the needs of a growing community.
For more than a decade, Enumclaw School District has worked in partnership with the City of Black Diamond and Oakpointe to plan for future school facilities and enrollment growth in the Ten Trails area. Through this partnership and an amended agreement approved by the Enumclaw School Board, the district is able to move forward with the construction of the new elementary school without a bond or tax increase. The funding model uses existing mitigation assets and agreements, allowing the district to maintain local control of the project while responsibly addressing the need for additional school capacity in Black Diamond.
The new school was recently named Evergreen Elementary following a community-centered process led by the Elementary #6 Naming Committee and approved unanimously by the Enumclaw School District Board of Directors. The name reflects the natural surroundings of the school site, including the wetlands and trees behind the property, while connecting the school’s identity to both the Ten Trails community and the greater Enumclaw School District. The Board also selected Trailblazers as the school mascot, representing growth, belonging, stewardship, learning, helping, and problem-solving.
Evergreen Elementary’s planning principal, Nicole Tronvig, will begin serving in that role on July 1, 2026. As planning principal, she will help develop the school’s identity, student and family experience, staff onboarding, learning spaces, and community partnerships as the district prepares for the school’s opening.
Community members are encouraged to attend and celebrate this important step forward for Evergreen Elementary and the families it will serve.
