Small Schools[]
In 2007, Evergreen High School was closed and replaced by three small high schools, which was part of a district-wide effort (originally funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation) to increase student achievement levels.[3] The three small schools were named: Technology, Engineering & Communications School (TEC), Health Sciences & Human Services High School (HS3), and Arts & Academics Academy (AAA).[4] Beginning in the 2017–2018 school year, the small schools were disbanded and the campus was re-unified as Evergreen High School.[5]
