Glacier Peak High School is a high school in Snohomish, Washington, United States, operated by the Snohomish School District. Glacier Peak was opened in 2008 to relieve overcrowding at Snohomish High School; the 230,000-square-foot (21,000 m2) facility designed by NAC Architecture and built by Lydig Construction. It is the other high school in the Snohomish School District alongside Snohomish High School.
The site is adjacent to the former Cathcart Landfill, which opened in 1980 and closed in 1992 after reaching capacity. The high school was built on supplemental land that had been reserved for a future expansion but was later sold to the Snohomish School District. The site has a view of Glacier Peak in eastern Snohomish County.
The school opened in an almost completed state on September 3, 2008, for grades 9–11. It was completely finished by January 2009. Grades 9-12 have attended GPHS since September 2009, and the first senior class graduated on June 17, 2010.
Its name was decided by a naming committee from names submitted by community members. The three names that were in the final vote were Eagle Ridge, Glacier Peak and Three Rivers. The mascot and colors were voted on by students from the Snohomish Freshman Campus and Valley View Middle School.
GPHS has a large arts department; students can choose from performing and fine arts classes. A performing arts center provides a venue for GPHS's performances, including plays and musicals as well as jazz band, concert band, and choir concerts.
