Take a tour of Tacoma’s newest public middle school before it opens its doors to the City of Destiny

TACOMA – Green Dot Destiny Middle School invites you to take a tour of the new school prior to its opening to Tacoma area families, on Tuesday, June 23, 2015.  

More than 200 students have applied for the new public charter school, which will begin with sixth graders only and roll up to a full 6-8th grade middle school over the next three years. Green Dot Public Schools are publicly-funded and free to attend. Each Green Dot school shares the common mission of preparing students for college, leadership and life and is open to all students.  

Tacoma area families, students and community members chose the name for the new middle school that reflects the long history of Tacoma as the City of Destiny. 

Our team has spent the last year working hard to renovate and remodel the empty Rogers Elementary building for our sixth grade students. This is our inaugural class of students, who, along with our amazing teachers and families, are making history here in Tacoma. 

Please RSVP to Bree Dusseault, Executive Director, Green Dot Washington at bree.dusseault@greendot.org. Please wear sturdy shoes as parts of the school may still be under construction.
