Glacier Peak High School is a new high school being built in the south end of the Snohomish School District. This school will be just as good as the original high school in Snohomish. This school is long overdue and will relieve overcrowding at Snohomish High School. It will be a 230,000-square-foot (21,000 m²) facility designed by Northwest Architecture and built by Lydig Construction. In the fall of 2008 it will be opening with grades 9-11.

[edit] History

Its name was decided by a naming committee from names submitted by community members. The site has a view of Glacier Peak in eastern Snohomish County. The official mascot is the Grizzlies, and colors are Navy Blue and White with silver as its accent color. The mascot and colors were voted on by students from the Snohomish Freshman Campus and Valley View Middle School.[1]

The class of 2010 will be the first Junior and Senior class to accommodate the newly established high school. The graduating class of 2009 will remain at Snohomish High School on request of the student body. And, will give the class of 2010 the choice of staying at Snohomish too. This school has a chance to start new traditions rich in the characteristics of Snohomish County.[2]

[edit] Sports

Glacier Peak will belong to WESCO 3A North division in Sports. The American football team will have to play at Snohomish, since a stadium isn't being built at Glacier Peak. [3]
