Our goal is to create a schedule for each student that consists of the classes they need to graduate and that meets their future education and career goals. Each student creates a High School and Beyond plan (four-year plan) and chooses their classes during registration in the spring.
We build our master schedule based on student requests. All schedules are reviewed by counselors for accuracy. It is very important that students carefully read course descriptions and choose appropriate alternate options when registering.These directions are for students who are already enrolled at Glacier Peak High School. If you need information about registering as a new student at Glacier Peak High School, please contact our registrar, Cecilia Goritsas, at 360-563-7600.
