Marcus Whitman Elementary School

Marcus Whitman Elementary is a two-story, 65,000-square-foot school that can serve 630 students. The two previous Marcus Whitman Schools were located at the same site—the original was built sometime between 1944-1948 and was demolished in 1971, the second was built in 1970 and demolished in 2015 to make room for the new building.

In addition to a multi-purpose room and gymnasium, the new Marcus Whitman Elementary has 24 general education classrooms. It also has nine special and support classrooms, including special programs, preschool, art, computer lab and music.

RSD’s Capital Projects Department, along with Construction Services Group—a program of Educational Services District 112— oversaw the project.
