Meadowdale High School is a high school in the Edmonds School District, located in Lynnwood, Washington. The school has 1,560 enrolled students in grades 9 through 12. Meadowdale competes 3A in the Washington Interscholastic Athletic Association after two years as 4A between 2004-2006. The school's mascot is the Maverick, though prior to 1999 it was the "Chief". 1997-1998 were the years of the school's last major renovations.

The school's schedule is based on a 100-minute, 3-period block schedule, consisting of 1st, 3rd, and 5th periods on Monday and Wednesday and 2nd, 4th, and 6th periods on Tuesday and Thursday. On Friday, students go to all six classes for roughly 50 minutes each.

Some of Meadowdale's clubs and activities include:

Meadowdale enjoys an active Associated Student Body (ASB), which organizes and carries out events, including community outreach projects. Of particular note is the canned food drive, which perennially gathers more units of nonperishable food than the other three schools in the district, combined. The ASB is organized with a group of five executive officers who run events and activities, and five Senators from each grade level, who are responsible for class events such as dances and the Senior Prom. The ASB also works closely with the Interhigh association to sponsor district-wide events, such as a District Talent Show.

Meadowdale offers band, orchestra, choir, and guitar electives. Meadowdale is especially renowned for its strong jazz program, which consists of two jazz bands, a 5-person jazz combo, and their vocal jazz ensemble, Impressions, which performs with the combo.

Meadowdale has a highly active drama club. Shows previously performed by the Meadowdale Players include Almost, Maine, Twelfth Night, The Wedding Singer, Romeo and Juliet, Any Number Can Die, Once Upon a Mattress, 12 Angry Jurors, and Thoroughly Modern Millie. They also have an annual festival of ten-minute plays every spring, which are written, directed, and performed by students.
