History

The name Chimacum originated from the Chimakum Valley Indians, who inhabited the area until treaties were signed with settlers, and boundaries were formed. The first school was built in 1915 and was used as Kindergarten through Eighth grade until it burned in 1943. It was later rebuilt in the present site and continues to be in use today as a K-12 school.

District Highlights

Chimacum School District has enjoyed the support of the community through the passage every two years of a local maintenance and operations levy. The levy provides many things including additional teachers to keep class sizes small, support for extra curricular activities, new technology for students and programs for highly capable students. The school board has adopted school improvement plans from all grade levels and will continue to monitor these plans annually in an effort to continually improve student instruction. READ MORE
