Welcome to Evergreen Community Charter School!

10/22- Introducing the 2026-2027 Evergreen Fund: The Art of Change!

The Art of Change is built on the belief that growing, learning, and evolving is a beautiful, artistic journey. It reinforces our core mission: that deep care shapes our students’ character, perspectives, and habits.

10/15 - If you have gently used Halloween costumes from years past, please bring them in, and we will facilitate a costume exchange. Drop off your gently used costumes in the office, and during Fall Family Nights, come in and “shop” our free collection for a new (to you) costume! All leftover costumes will be available for students to grab in the office on Friday, 10/23.
