High schools

Marysville Getchell Campus

Formerly Marysville Getchell High School (MGHS), it comprises four schools, each of which was originally operated as a separate academy within Marysville Pilchuck High School and later MGHS. The latter was renamed to a "Campus" when the academies became separate small schools and the "parent" MGHS disbanded.

Marysville Tulalip Campus

Formerly Marysville Secondary Campus, it is an 84,000-square foot campus which houses three separate schools operated by the Marysville School District and the Tulalip Tribes. The structures were constructed in 2008 of newly built prefab modular units which look and feel like traditional construction. The high schools share a gym and commons center. The site is owned by the district within the Tulalip Reservation. [4]

Governance

The district is governed by a board of directors elected from geographical sub-districts.[5] Each of the five directors is elected for a term of two years.[6] The superintendent is Dr. Becky Berg.[7] In October 2017, Deborah Parker was selected to serve as its director of Equity, Diversity, and Indian Education[8][9] and continues to do so as of June 2018.[10]

Marysville School District Initiatives

The district is one of the first in the region to offer computer science education for all elementary students through elementary computer science specialists. Read more about it in a 2015 AP article. [11] Marysville has an ambitious technology focus, deploying Chromebooks to all students in grades 6-12, coupled with professional development for teachers in those grades on changing pedagogy.[12] [13]
