Welcome to Envision Career Academy
-
Envision is one of two North Thurston Public School choice high schools. We opened in September 2020 and offer an innovative learning opportunity to students in our district who are looking for a unique high school experience that is real-world, inquiry-based, and highly collaborative among students and teachers, where the student's voice is at the center of everything we do.
A Unique, Career Connected Learning Environment
-
The strength of ECA is its staff and the intentional cross-curricular, interdisciplinary, collaborative approach to planning, teaching, and learning. We create an environment where a positive relationship with every student is created. Each student is visible and known.
The responsibility for success is a two-way street. Every student who attends ECA has asked to be there -- they chose to attend. Because of that, every student is expected to attend and work toward their academic & career goals.
We offer four CTE pathways to graduation:
- Agriculture Sciences
- Biomedical Sciences
- Business & Marketing
- Manufacturing and Technology and Aerospace Manufacturing
Learn more about the CTE Program of Study and Career Clusters on the OSPI website.
Our student-created Fyre Gryphon Code is EMBER!

- Mindful: Aware and reflective of words, actions, and choices
- Bold: Respectfully express true self and ideas

Building History
-
ECA's building was constructed in 2007 on 4.4 acres.
It is located at 411 College Street NE in Lacey adjacent to the Gott Administrative Center (District Office). The pre-engineered metal building was designed, permitted, built, and occupied within a one-year timespan. This school was designed from the beginning to accommodate non-traditional programs, initially occupied by the credit-retrieval choice school South Sound High School.
The 18,448 square foot building, including 10 instructional spaces, was built utilizing mitigation funds.
