The Mount Baker School District is located in Eastern Whatcom County in Northwest Washington State. The school district encompasses 622 square miles and includes the Acme, Kendall, Nugents Corner, Glenhaven, Van Zandt, Glacier, and Maple Falls communities. Mount Baker is a rural district, becoming increasingly suburban and more diverse.

The Mount Baker School District serves a diverse population of just over 1,500 students, from preschool through grade twelve. There are three elementary schools, one junior high school (grades 7 and 8), and a four-year high school. The district enjoys strong community support for students’ success in the classroom and in a wide range of co-curricular activities. The district is known for its highly successful CTE Programs.

The extended community includes the Mount Baker ski area, which is located in the Mount Baker- Snoqualmie National Forest on the edge of the Mount Baker wilderness area. In addition to the incredible scenery, residents enjoy many outdoor activities including mountain climbing, hiking, fishing, boating, and water and snow skiing.
