Attention MP Tomahawks Grades 9-11:
Your last day of in-person school will be June 16 (A Day students) and June 17 (B Day Students, At-home students). You should bring your Chromebooks, chargers and cases on your last day and turn them in to the library to avoid any fines.
If you are taking summer school classes you will keep your Chromebook until your last day of summer school. Let's make the most of these last two weeks of school!
It's hard to believe that this is the last week of school for our seniors.
Class of '21 will attend school through this Friday, June 11th. On Friday seniors will attend a virtual Moving Up Assembly at 9AM and they will have no live classes that day.
On Monday the 14th and Tuesday the 15th seniors must bring their Chromebooks in to the library, along with cases and cords.
Next Wednesday (June 16th) is Graduation Rehearsal at 9AM. Seniors must attend that rehearsal to participate in graduation on the 17th. They will also get their tickets on Wednesday at rehearsal.
**Note that seniors do not wear a cap and gown to rehearsal. **
This is the final stretch, seniors. Mask up and be safe.

Dear Tomahawk Families,
It is with mixed feelings that I share with you today that I am leaving MPHS to assume the principalship at Lake Washington High School. The opportunity to serve and lead in Lake Washington came suddenly and I believe that I can both embrace the challenges of leading at LWHS and at the same time leave MPHS in good hands. On one hand I am very sad to leave MP and my Tomahawk Families, and on the other hand I am so excited for you all and for the possibilities that the future holds for MP. For the past four years I have been a Tomahawk and nothing compares to being a part of this community. MPHS truly has an amazing staff and proud traditions. Our students and the many cultures represented here are the heart and soul of our school and welcoming them back to school has been the highlight of this year.
This summer we will see huge changes in our school. A new ECEAP Preschool Program, complete with a playground and classrooms, is being built on the northside of our campus. This program will allow students in our Careers in Education program to work directly with young children in a school setting and will provide needed resources for the community of Marysville. Marysville Pilchuck will also welcome a new Video Production program with state of the art equipment to help our students develop skills in broadcasting and allow a new way of spreading messages about what makes MPHS so great. Also, our old cafeteria building is going to be demolished this summer and we will begin the processes of planning for district boundaries and feeder patterns. For all of these reasons I feel that our school is primed for a new leader to come in and hit the ground running with a positive pathway forward.
Although I will not be the principal of MPHS, I will remain a parent and an active member of our community. My home has been MP and I want the very best for our families. Also leaving this year is Jeff Ingrum, who is our beloved assistant principal. Mr. Ingrum will be the new principal at Grove Elementary School and they are lucky to have him! Mr. Brian Tinsley will continue on as an assistant principal at MP and will be joined by a familiar face as Mr. Brad Roden joins the staff as our newest assistant principal. Mr. Roden has been a director for Special Education programs in the Marysville School District and you may have had the opportunity to get to know him already in that role. Over the next few weeks the process will be underway to choose a new leader for Marysville Pilchuck. I will work to ensure that the transition is as smooth as possible and that your new principal understands just how fortunate they are to have landed at MPHS.
As we head into the summer I want to encourage you to reach out to me with any questions or concerns you may have. I am readily available by phone or email and am here to help you in any way I can. I understand that changes can bring uncertainty and I want to reassure you that our students and families are our top priority.
It has been a pleasure and an honor to serve this community.
Sincerely,
Christine Bell,
Principal, MPHS
It ROCKS to Be a Tomahawk!
