Everett High is unusual in that it has a partially open campus. With parent permission, 11th and 12th grade students may leave campus during their lunch breaks. It is one of few high schools in the state that retains an open boundary. This is done out of necessity; it would be very difficult for staff to keep students on campus, with two streets running through the campus, student parking on neighboring streets, and dining attractions only yards away.
The school has seven buildings. On the western side of Colby are the main building, or the "A Building" to the South, the "Little Theater" to the Northwest, and the Science Building to the Northeast. Between the Colby Ave. and Wetmore Ave. are the "E Building," the "B Building," which is also called the Everett Civic Auditorium, and the "C Building," also known as the Commercial Building. The auditorium houses JROTC classes, band, choir, art, a cafeteria, and a large auditorium.
The "C Building" houses classes in foreign language, math, and some health classes. On the eastern side of Wetmore Ave. are the gymnasium and parking for staff and students. The student parking lot, more commonly called the Senior Lot, received renovation and expansion prior to the 2005-06 school year. The Norm Lowry Gymnasium houses Richer Court, where basketball games are held.
During the 2008-2009 school year, the "Little Theater" in the northwest corner of campus received extensive renovation, briefly displacing drama class and club and other classes held in the building. Changes were made to comply with district regulations, pertaining to accessibility, earthquake safety, and a large-scale remodel of the stage, backstage, and other performance-related areas. Classes resumed in the Little Theater in fall 2009.
