Priority Project Site Plans & Descriptions
Based on analysis and community feedback, the Community Facilities Task Force has identified Walla Walla High School, Lincoln High School and Pioneer Middle School as the educational sites with the greatest facility improvement needs. The Committee has identified that renovation rather than new construction is the preferred approach to addressing these three priority projects.
