Welcome to Evergreen School!

As early as 1862, Silverton families joined together to form the Evergreen School District, raising funds to build the school at its current location by 1865. One founder, L.F. Mascher, described the district as stretching from the Abiqua to south of Drift Creek, and from Silver Creek to the Pudding River. From the start, parents were committed to creating a quality school. They raised $310 to construct the building, donated extra funds for blackboards, and later, with help from photographer June Drake, financed a two-mile boardwalk so students could avoid walking through mud.

Principal’s Welcome

Dear Evergreen School Families,

It is with great excitement and gratitude that I step into this year alongside our amazing Evergreen School students, staff, and families. This school has a rich history of excellence and a strong sense of community that has been built over generations. I feel deeply honored to be part of a place where relationships run deep, traditions matter, and people truly care for one another.

Thank you for entrusting us with your children each day. We understand that this is not just a matter of academics—it’s about helping them grow in character, kindness, and wisdom. Our staff is committed to creating a learning environment where every student feels valued, supported, and inspired to reach their potential.

At Evergreen School, we know the most important work we do is not only what happens in the classroom, but also the way we care for each child as a whole person. We aim to plant seeds that will bear fruit for years to come, equipping students with the knowledge, values, and confidence they need to flourish.

As we begin this school year, I am excited to see what we can accomplish together. With the support of our families, the dedication of our staff, and the resilience of our students, I know we will continue to strengthen the legacy of Evergreen School.

With gratitude,
Patrick Mulligan
