WHAT IS NEVAC?  The NorthEast Vocational Area Cooperative (NEVAC), is a partnership of nine school districts in Northeast Puget Sound. Member districts include Bellevue, Edmonds, Issaquah, Lake Washington, Mercer Island, Northshore, Riverview, Shoreline and Snoqualmie Valley.   NEVAC provides a broad range of outstanding courses for all students, which can expand options for the future. All classes encourage both male and female students to enroll. Classes are located at several high schools and operate during the regular school day.
