Mount Adams Middle School

White Swan is a small, rural community on the Yakama Nation reservation in the Yakima Valley, and Mount Adams Middle School serves a population that faces some real challenges — reflected in its current academic rankings. Families here are part of a tight-knit community with deep cultural roots, and the school's role goes well beyond test scores, connecting students to a place and a heritage that most schools in Washington simply can't offer. For families looking to get involved and make a difference, this is a school where engaged parents and community support can have an outsized impact.
