Application materials due Feb 5, 2009

Everett Public Schools’ staff are passionate about

doing the world’s most important work – ensuring

that each student learns to high standards and

graduates on time. Our schools are high-powered learning centers that engage 18,700 culturally-rich

students who speak 50 different languages from every corner of the world. Staff and students are

encouraged and supported to be life-long learners and community leaders.

A community that supports its schools

The district encompasses the cities of Everett and Mill Creek and large swaths of rural and suburban

unincorporated Snohomish County. Voters historically support school finance issues as evidenced by

school buildings that are modern or completely modernized on a well-planned, 40-year cycle. Citizens

volunteer by the thousands in classrooms and schools, and businesses and service organizations are

invaluable education partners. More than 750 individuals and over 100 businesses support the

Everett Public Schools Foundation in a variety of ways, including an annual spring breakfast that

earns $85,000 each year.

Historic beginnings, strong future, scenic outlook

Residents enjoy the richness of Everett’s historic roots and the growth of the Mill Creek community as

a relatively new suburban enclave. Nestled between Puget Sound and the Cascade Mountains, the

region is graced with a diverse concentration of breathtaking scenery, yearlong activities and unique

attractions. Recreation abounds here — on land, on sea, and in the air. Opportunities for cultural

richness, broad economic diversification and higher education are plentiful. Everett is the county seat

and a highly-recognized medical center. A number of aerospace and high-tech corporations and the

U.S. Navy call Everett and its vicinities home. A future University of Washington satellite campus is

anticipated and will augment Everett Community College as a post-high school learning option for

students wanting to continue living, working and learning in this area.
