Each time a new school or public facility is built, the State of Washington Arts Commission grants money to be used to commission an art project for the building. Cascade chose artist Jack Archibald who worked with an advisory team from the school and created a stunning stained glass piece at the end of the main hallway. Archibald also created a smaller piece that has been inset above the main entrance to the school.

Cascade Middle School Principal Gary Price said, "We were very impressed by Jack and his commitment to middle school education. He is in very high demand across the country and even so he took the time to provide even more glass and a bigger project than he was commissioned to undertake because of how impressed he was with the school and the beauty that the natural lighting would create."
