History

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 site has a view of Glacier Peak in eastern Snohomish County. The official mascot is the Grizzlies, and colors are Navy Blue and White with silver as its accent color. The mascot and colors were voted on by students from the Snohomish Freshman Campus and Valley View Middle School. [http://glacierpeak.sno.wednet.edu/GlacierPeakFAQ.html#MascotColors]
