Build a Second Elementary School to Alleviate Overcrowding
In Hockinson, it’s possible to have a small town feel with neighborhood schools. Hockinson School District has a bond proposal on the February 11, 2025 ballot to construct a second elementary school to address overcrowding at HHES.
Here are details about the second elementary school.
The second elementary school would be constructed on a 40-acre parcel of land adjacent to Hockinson Meadows Park. When the land was purchased in 2023, the district bought 40 acres for $700,000 from Clark County. Estimated Cost: $68.4 million minus state matching dollars & impact fees = $57.65 million project cost.
- Hockinson School District would optimize the location by integrating with the adjacent park amenities.
- In preliminary concepts, the second elementary school maximizes space with a compact design.
- The Facilities Planning Committee is researching cost effective and energy efficient building materials for the second school.
- Both elementary schools in Hockinson School District (the existing HHES school and the second elementary school) would serve TK-5th grade students in order to reduce traffic congestion and keep elementary-aged siblings at the same school.
- School construction on unimproved land includes some infrastructure and traffic improvements required by the county to make the land usable as a school site.
- School naming will be guided by community input.
- School construction depends on bond passage and community input.
- The existing Hockinson Heights Elementary School campus would receive safety improvements and would continue to be used by about half of the students living in Hockinson.
With 924 students, Hockinson Heights Elementary School (HHES) is the largest elementary school by student population in Clark County. A third-party demographer has projected that HHES enrollment will exceed 1,040 students by 2027. The school building was designed to accommodate approximately 500 students.
Make Safety Improvements at HHES, HMS & HHS, Including Lockdown Capabilities
Safety Improvements and Remodeling at the Existing HHES Site
In Hockinson, it’s possible to preserve rural peace of mind with modern safety upgrades. The following are priority remodeling and safety improvements.
Elementary School
Building Lockdown Functionality
There is currently no capability to automatically secure exterior doors during a lockdown situation at HHES. In a recent family survey, respondents identified improving building lockdown functionality as a top priority.
Improved Traffic Flow
The project includes redesigning the parking lot and improving bus access to reduce congestion and improve traffic flow. In a recent district-wide family survey, 61.2% of respondents said that traffic congestion during daily pick-up/drop-off and family events at HHES impacts them.
Elimination of Portable Classrooms
Hockinson School District will eliminate portable classrooms and transition students into permanent classrooms. Due to overcrowding, nearly one-third of all HHES students currently spend most of their school day in one of the school’s 24 portable classrooms.
Campus Redesign to Maximize Instructional Time
The redesign will include a building addition at the existing HHES campus to reduce the time students spend walking between specialists and classrooms throughout the day. This would improve campus safety and minimizing lost instructional time due to daily transitions.
Single Secure Entry
Constructing a single secure entry door will enhance security by restricting school access points.
Middle School
Digital Emergency Messaging
A digital system at HMS would broadcast emergency alerts and guidance directly to classroom screens during lockdowns or other emergencies.
High School
Digital Emergency Messaging
Digital emergency messaging at HHS would allow emergency messages and instructions to be displayed in HHS classrooms during a lockdown or other emergency.
