Building History
North Thurston High School was built in 1954 on 38.4 acres. By 1967, the auto shop and pool were added, followed by the library in 1972. From 1983 to 84, the main building was demolished and rebuilt. The Koval Center for the Performing Arts was added in 1995. A technology upgrade was completed in 1996 and an HVAC upgrade was completed in 2000.
In 2003, the pool was modernized, due in part to severe structural earthquake damage. In 2009, the pool boiler was upgraded. Exterior building upgrades of the Koval Center were completed in 2010 utilizing state grant funds. In 2011, energy-efficient lighting upgrades were completed in the gym utilizing state energy grant funds.
As part of the 2014 Bond, a complete modernization was completed with an updated main building, separated bus loading area, art installation, walkways, and more.
