South School Tour

Perperzak Middle School


Sacajawea Middle School
The replacement of Sacajawea Middle School was designed to accommodate 825 students in grades 6-8; the project opened in the fall of 2023.

Internal circulation for the building focuses on the concept of a “town square” with all learning neighborhoods, electives, and administrative spaces organized around the learning commons and nutritional commons, which are adjacent and open to each other. The learning neighborhoods continue this theme in their organization. All classrooms open onto an open common area large enough to be used as breakout space for multiple classrooms or small group gatherings.

Learning Objectives:
  • Describe the engagement process Spokane Public Schools used across all middle schools in the district to establish a new vision and direction to meet the needs of this cohort.
  • Discuss the design guiding principles for the project, including the process through which they were developed and how they are reflected in the design.
  • Identify the strategies used and spaces created to engage students socially, academically, and emotionally.
  • Describe the design and function of the sensory courtyard, and discuss how it benefits student learning.
