Evergreen Public Schools

What Evergreen Public Schools does

Evergreen Public Schools (EPS) is a public K-12 school district headquartered in Vancouver, Washington, operating as a government-state entity under Washington State law. The district serves students across three legislative districts (17, 18, 49) in the Vancouver metropolitan area and is described as one of the fastest-growing large school districts in Washington. Its student population includes more than 4,000 English learners (approximately 18% of enrollment) representing over 80 languages, with Spanish being the primary language for 50% of English learners. EPS provides the full spectrum of K-12 public education services, including early learning, special education, multilingual and dual-language instruction, social-emotional learning, athletics, college and career readiness, and family resource services.

The district's technology ecosystem is built on third-party commercial platforms rather than proprietary systems. Core infrastructure includes ParentSquare for school-to-family communication (with multi-language support and two-way translation), Canvas as the learning management system, Skyward as the student information system with Family Access and online enrollment, ClassLink for single sign-on, Google Workspace for productivity and website hosting, and Zoom for board meetings and remote participation. The district website (evergreenps.org), hosted on Google Sites, serves as the central hub. Notable programmatic features include a K-12 Dual Language pathway using a 90/10 transitioning to 50/50 instructional model culminating in the Washington State Seal of Biliteracy, a Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) for reading and math intervention, a 65-volunteer RISE crisis response team, and student voice initiatives including a Student Advisory Council and Students Advocating for Equity (SAFE).

EPS is funded approximately 75% by the State of Washington, with the remainder from local levies and federal sources, and provides tuition-free K-12 education to district residents. As a public entity, it has no revenue-generating commercial model, no parent company, and no equity ownership structure — it is governed by a publicly elected Board of Directors. The district is led by Superintendent Dr. Christine Moloney (permanently appointed March 18, 2025) and maintains strategic partnerships with community organizations, the Federal Office of Refugee Resettlement, the Gates Foundation, and Educational Services District 112 to deliver services that extend beyond standard school operations into refugee support, family engagement, and statewide educational improvement initiatives.
