Rob and I are so excited to have this opportunity to serve the students, families, and staff in the community that shaped who we are today. We appreciate the trust our school board members have placed in us to continue to build on the excellence at MLSD.

Medical Lake and Fairchild Air Force Base have collectively come together to provide outstanding support for our district so we can ensure a quality education for all of our students.

It is from the combined communities foundation that our Medical Lake Promise, shared below, was developed. A commitment that our school board and I are making as we work to fulfill these promises includes adding more opportunities for both student and parent voices through the development of advisory groups. We know the best way to understand the needs of our system is to ask and listen to those experiencing it firsthand.

Additionally, we will be communicating regularly through monthly district-wide newsletters to share our programs and upcoming events. This month we are highlighting the Summer Groups we are hosting at our Wellness Center as well as some of the programs the Medical Lake City Parks and Recreation and the Library are offering for our community.

We are looking forward to meeting you soon at our meet and greets or just out and about around the community, sharing our plans and the great things happening at MLSD.

Hope you are having a great summer!

• Medical Lake High School has had a 93% or greater graduation rate consistently for over 10 years.

• We have maintained strong academic results even through the pandemic:

• 2022-23 preliminary state testing results show the majority of grade levels scoring above the state average in math, several significantly above (>20%)

We want to thank our outstanding staff, families, and school board for their hard work and dedication to make these things happen for Every Student, Every Day!

We want to thank all our students, families, and community members who have made our Summer Groups through the Wellness Center such a success. Thanks to your participation, ALL of these groups are full!!
