Last week we proudly held the Ribbon Cutting Ceremony for the renovations at Ellsworth Middle School and High School! 🏫✨ It’s amazing to see the project nearly complete with just a few finishing touches left and we couldn’t be more proud of how everything has turned out. These updates are an investment in the future of our students and will provide incredible opportunities for years to come. 💜🐾
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who helped make this project possible, including our school board members, administrators, staff, the Ellsworth Chamber ambassadors and members, community members, Kraus-Anderson, LHB, LHI, OEM, Pierce County Board and the Village of Ellsworth. Your support and dedication to our schools and students make all the difference!

We want to be clear: the post in question does not reflect the mission, values, or beliefs of the Ellsworth Community School District. Any suggestion otherwise is simply not accurate.
We recognize that there is a range of perspectives regarding how situations like this should be handled. While we uphold the right to free speech, we also recognize that this right comes with responsibilities—especially when it affects the learning environment or disrupts the safe, respectful atmosphere we are committed to maintaining in our schools.
At the heart of every decision we make is one core priority: our students. Their well-being, safety, and success are the reasons we are here and will always guide our actions.
Thank you for your continued support of our school community.
