  Other special features about our school:            
  Mount Si is engaged in on-going staff development to increase student learning and achievement, and to meet the mandated state standards of the WASL test.  Through collaborative efforts of the staff, Mount Si has achieved a decrease of 10% of students not previously meeting standards on the WASL tests.  Previous staff development goals included training in higher level thinking skill strategies, as well as focusing on the success of freshman as they entered high school.  Recently, Mount Si staff has engaged in writing assessment training, and working toward the teaching of writing across all curricular departments.  In addition, a focus on student health surveys is being addressed to provide programs to assist students.  The ASB program continues to achieve success at the state level.  Leadership students have been regular presenters at the state activity conference.  Athletic teams have consistently participated in regional and state competitions, achieving an unprecedented rate of success in the 2004-05 school year.
