The firm Day CPM submitted a target budget of more than $112 million at the district’s
May budget meeting.
lion, of which more than $82
million is expected to fund
construction. Of the total cost,
an additional $8.2 million is
targeted for design costs and
engineering services.
Bids were requested April
10 and three proposals re-
ceived on May 9.
Hoffman
Construction,
which built the Portland
State University Research
and Teaching Center and the
Sandy High School, had “an
excellent written proposal and
presentation and we were re-
ally impressed by their qual-
ifications,” Roley said. “They
have built some excellent
schools already in the state of
Oregon and they have a lot of
coast experience. Overall, we
feel they’re a great team to go
with the team we already have
going.”
Logging underway
In a letter last week, Su-
perintendent-emeritus Doug
Dougherty said Weyerhae-
user Co. will start on the far
east end of the Southeast Hill
property and move west. Af-
ter tree and stump removal,
site development will begin.
Logging at the top of the
hill began this week, Roley
said, with material going
through main logging roads.
Logging will not begin in the
vicinity of Seaside Heights
Elementary School until after
the school year.
Weyerhaeuser, which do-
nated 80 acres to the district
to house the campus, will re-
ceive profits from the harvest
of the wood, part of the agree-
ment’s terms.
Architect, project manager
and construction management
teams plan to meet next week
at the district office, Roley
said.
Concurrently, the dis-
trict will appear before the
city seeking an expansion
of the urban growth bound-
ary, she said, referring to the
process of linking school
property to city services.
Along with the Weyerhaeuser
timber removal, the district
plans to contract out logging
of an additional 12 acres adja-
cent to Seaside Heights, part
of a 19-acre parcel, Roley
said. AKS Engineering and
Forestry is the logging con-
tractor.
The district anticipates
paying out $22.5 million next
year toward the project, en-
dorsed by voters in approval
of a $99.7 million construc-
tion bond last November,
Business Manager Justine
Hill said in April.
The
budget
number
swelled with the addition
of $4 million from the state,
along with favorable bond
sales and rates, Hill said.
According to the district’s
project timeline, heavy site
work is scheduled to begin in
the first and second quarters
of 2018.
“We are right where we
want to be,” Roley said. “We
don’t anticipate any actual
construction until the summer
of 2018 but we will be very
busy with the preparation up
until that time.”
Completion of campus
construction and opening for
classes is anticipated by fall
2020.

The Seaside School Dis-
trict awarded a contract to
construction manager/gener-
al contractor Hoffman Con-
struction, a Portland-based
company with government
and school construction expe-
rience.
“We felt they were the
best suited firm for the job,”
Superintendent Sheila Roley
said.
The board made the offer
at a special meeting at the
high school Tuesday, June 6.
Final negotiations follow ap-
proval.
Along with architects
Dull, Olson Weekes-IBI and
DAY CPM project manage-
ment, Hoffman will become
the third of “the three main
groups” to build the district’s
new campus in the Southeast
Hills, replacing Seaside High
School, Broadway Middle
School and Gearhart Elemen-
tary School, located in the
tsunami inundation zone. Vot-
ers overwhelmingly passed a
$99.7 million bond for new
schools in November.

Ninety graduates dressed
in red caps and gowns walked
on to the stage Monday night
while proud families, friends
and educators filled the Sea-
side Civic and Convention
Center to greet them.
Among the graduates
at the 101st Seaside High
School commencement, five
were valedictorians and 22
were members of National
Honor Society.
Many students received
awards and scholarships to
pursue their higher education
goals. Heidi Lent said her
daughter, Kirstin, will attend
Portland State University to
study communication and the
Turkish language.
“I’m really proud of her
for achieving what she has
achieved. I’m looking for-
ward to her future,” Lent said.
Thaddaeus Stapleton, orig-
inally from Washington state,
is ready to leave the Oregon
Coast. He will attend South-
ern Oregon University to
study business administration.
After completing his under-
graduate degree, Stapleton
plans on pursuing a master’s.
“I was a little unsure if I’d
make it but I’m here now,”
Stapleton said.
The valedictorians each
gave an address highlight-

The Seaside Civic and Convention Center was packed with family and friends.
ing the impact Seaside High
School had on them, what
they are looking forward to in
the future, and advice for their
fellow classmates.
Summer Spell’s speech
acknowledged that the labels
each one of them had do not
define them anymore, wheth-
er that be a positive one like
“successful” or a negative one
like “lazy.”
Dania Nolazco Luna, the
first member of her family to
graduate high school, said:
“Whatever it is you do from
here on out, you only get back
what you put in.”
Caroline Kotson’s goal for
her fellow classmates is to
break away from their gener-
ation’s stereotype as entitled.
Kotson said no matter what
each student’s future will
look like, “go out and change
the perception of our genera-
tion.”
After three valedictorian
addresses, a slideshow of the
graduates played. Students’
baby pictures and senior pic-
tures along with group photos
were shown.
Once the slide presentation
completed, the fourth valedic-
torian gave his speech.
Carson Schulte said he
spent his first three years at
Seaside High going through
the motions in fear of what
others might think of him for
standing out too much. How-
ever, at the beginning of his
senior year, his father chal-
lenged him to try new things.
Schulte joined choir and
other activities where he
found a great support system.
“If you have a dream, go out
and chase it until you can’t
chase it any longer,” he said.
Following Schulte, the
Class of 2017 was awarded
diplomas.
The final valedictorian
address, given by Elizabeth
Barnes, encompassed that
people are unique and special
in their own ways. “Don’t
let anyone tell you you don’t
matter,” Barnes said. “Never
stop being who you are and
seeking what you want.”
