3. OVERVIEW OF DISTRICT OF THE MARYSVILLE SCHOOL DISTRICT 25
The Marysville School District is located at 4220 80th Street NE, Marysville, Washington,
Snohomish County, in the beautiful Pacific Northwest surrounded by the Cascade and
Olympic Mountain ranges and the pristine waters of the Puget Sound. The City of Marysville
neighbors The Tulalip Reservation is located north of Everett and the Snohomish River and
west of Marysville. The Tulalip (pronounced Tuh'-lay-lup) Tribes are successors in interest to
the Snohomish, Snoqualmie, Skykomish, and other allied tribes and bands signatory to the
1855 Treaty of Point Elliott. The tribal population is over 5,000 and growing, with 2,700
members residing on the 22,000 acres Tulalip Indian Reservation. The Reservation is rich
with natural resources: marine waters, tidelands, freshwater creeks and lakes, wetlands,
forests, and developable land, The district works closely with The Tulalip Tribes through a
strong partnership in service of students and families.
Snohomish County, the third-most populous county in Washington State, outpaces its larger
counterparts in annual population growth. Boasting a mix of urban and rural communities
and the densest manufacturing region in the nation, new residents flock here for the natural
beauty, economic opportunity, and quality of life.
The district community of learners includes over 10,000 students educated in ten elementary
schools, four middle schools, and four high schools by experienced and dedicated staff. Our
student population is rich in diversity with over 50% of students and families of color. Our
team of approximately 1,500 full- and part-time instructional leaders and committed staff are
dedicated to providing a positive learning experience and a safe learning environment;
socially, emotionally, and physically for each child - every day- as is expressed in our
district's Values, Promise, and Commitment, Strategic Plan and Priorities, Equity Statement.
Educational Equity Policy, and Quality Service Standards. From the Board to the staff level,
they are focused on leading with equity and are taking distinct steps to affect systemic change
to address the needs of those furthest away from educational justice and to increase the
diversity of its teaching staff.

Opportunities abound for students who are provided access to option programs, AP and
Honors classes, CTE preparatory courses for aerospace, early learning, videography, and
culinary learning to name a few, along with the Regional Apprenticeship Program for the
trades. The district is also a leader in the state through the use of technology to enhance
