We’re proud to share that Concrete High School students submitted 27 pieces to this year’s Northwest Educational Service District (NWESD) Regional High School Art Show.
While none of our entries advanced to the state level this year, our students represented Concrete with creativity, effort, and pride. Submitting work to a regional show takes initiative and confidence, and we are proud of each student who participated.
You can view all of our student artwork here: https://www.nwesd.org/2025-nwesd-high-school-art-show-gallery/

We look forward to more opportunities to showcase our students’ talents in the months ahead.
Concrete School District is beginning the development of a new district strategic plan to guide our priorities and direction over the next several years.
As part of this process, we will be gathering input from students, staff, families, and community members through a series of listening sessions and other feedback opportunities.
We encourage anyone interested in the future of our schools to participate.
Parent & Community Listening Sessions
If you fit into more than one group, you are welcome to attend more than one session.
Zoom links will be shared through ParentSquare and posted on the district website on the day of each session.
