The construction of the new Ferris High School Gym and Fitness Complex is being funded through the support of the Spokane community in passing the $165.3 million facility improvement bond in March 2003. The district-wide plan includes replacement of three elementary schools, modernization of three high schools, and updates throughout the district.

Location: Ferris High School is situated on the corner of 37th and Regal on the south side of Spokane. The school first opened its doors in 1963, and first year enrollment for the facility was approximately 800 students in grades 8, 9, and 10. Today, Ferris houses almost 1800 students in grades 9-12.
