The 67-year-old Cascade Middle School is being replaced by a modern and efficient building with construction beginning in summer 2022. After nearly a year of planning and meetings with the local design team from Rowell Brokaw Architects, the new Cascade is going up directly behind the current school. Move-in is scheduled to take place over Winter Break in 2023. The Willamette High School softball field is being relocated near the WHS gym and will feature a lighted artificial turf playing surface.
