After more then 45 years debating the location for the new Everett High School, the Everett, Mass., city leaders settled on a unique site for the $64 million project. The 315,000-square-foot (29,264-m2) facility is the largest state-of-the-art public works project in Everett’s history. Constructed on a hilly, 5-acre (2-hectare) site, the front entrance is on the first floor and the rear entrance on the fourth floor. The project includes athletic facilities, a library/media center, 1,200-seat auditorium and health center.
