Marysville Getchell High School is a public high school in Marysville, Washington, United States, located east of Marysville with quick access to Highway 9. It is part of the Marysville School District.
The campus has a student capacity of 1,600 in grades 9-12 organized into four separate schools, small learning communities (SLCs), or academies, each with its own principal: the Academy of Construction and Engineering (ACE), the Bio-Medical Academy (BIO), the International School of Communications (ISC), and the School for the Entrepreneur (SFE). The four schools were previously operated as academies within Marysville Pilchuck High School (MPHS), which had a student population of nearly 3,000 at the time.
The campus was funded from a bond passed in February 2006 and opened in 2010.
The campus facility spans approximately 192,000 square feet (17,800 m2) across five buildings: one for each of the four small learning communities (or SLCs) plus a shared commons building that accommodates administration, a gymnasium, physical education, a cafeteria, and other services for the campus. Each academy/school occupies its own building that is organized with classrooms surrounding commons areas used for research, project-based study, interdisciplinary work, and interaction. To accommodate future expansion, extra classrooms were added to each building and outdoor rooftop decks were designed to permit enclosure. With Washington's cold weather in mind, the railings throughout the Marysville Getchell Campus are heated for the students' comfort.
The facility has received several design awards, including the 2011 Council of Educational Facilities Planners International's James D. MacConnell Award, an international award for excellence in school design. The architects for the campus were DLR Group.
