New Kendall Principal

It is a great pleasure to welcome the next Kendall principal, Susan Gribble, onto our Mount Baker team.  Susan brings with her experience as a principal in Washington State and is currently working as an administrator in the State of Hawaii.  Her background in curriculum and instruction, and in working with high needs populations will be a  great asset as we move forward as a district.  Susan is very happy to be coming to Kendall and is looking forward to getting to know the Kendall staff and students, and the Mount Baker community.

MBHS EARNS AWARD FROM OSPI AND STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION

Mount Baker Senior High School is being recognized for: Overall Excellence - High
