Campus facilities

Evergreen Lutheran was started in 1978 at its first campus in DuPont, Washington before the lease expired the summer of 1991. Evergreen then rented facilities from Holy Trinity Lutheran Church in Des Moines, Washington from September 1991 until July 2013 during which time classes were held in portables, outbuildings, gymnasium, and rented classrooms. After over 25 years of unsuccessful attempts to locate and purchase a permanent facility, Evergreen successfully purchased a 30-acre campus with a modern 54,000 square foot school that was built in 2005 on December 18, 2012. This campus is located at the corner of Waller Rd and 72nd Street East in Tacoma, WA. The campus was purchased from th
Lutheran Church Extension Fund
(LCEF) and was previously occupied by Mount Rainier Lutheran High School. Evergreen moved into the new campus building on July 20, 2013 and on September 9, 2013 Evergreen held the first day of classes of their 36th school year at the new facility. The property is designed with the ability to accommodate the development of future athletic fields and dormitory space.
