About Our School 

At Nooksack Valley High School we are providing learning opportunities for students in core academic content, career and technical education, fine arts, and physical education. In ninth and tenth grades there is a strong focus on helping students achieve proficiency in the state standards as proven on the Smarter Balanced Assessments, which students take in the spring during their tenth grade year. During eleventh and twelfth grades, students have opportunities to pursue studies in career pathways, including college preparatory work. The staff hold high expectations for students in academic growth, respect, and responsibility. We are committed to providing a safe and positive school environment. Enhancing each student's high school experiences are opportunities in athletics, drama, clubs, student achievement, and service groups.

Information for Parents

The partnership between home and school is a vital condition of student success. Parent/guardian involvement is considered essential. Parents are welcome to be involved in a variety of ways, from helping chaperone dances, serving on committees, and providing feedback, to simply talking with their children about what is going on in school.  The high school principal holds a bi-monthly "Principal's Forum" for the community. All are invited to attend. Additionally, parents are invited to join the Pioneer Athletic Club and Music Boosters. These groups meet regularly and are invaluable in augmenting the school's programs.
