Marysville Getchell High School is a public high school in Marysville, Washington, United States. It is part of the Marysville School District.

Contents

The campus has a capacity of 1,600 students and was originally organized into four "small learning communities", however, starting in the 2019-2020 school year, the school instead operates with no separation between the four schools. 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. [2]

The campus was funded by a bond passed in February 2006 and opened in September 2010.

Facilities

The campus spans approximately 192,000 square feet (17,800 m2) across five facilities: one for each building organized with classrooms, plus a shared commons building that accommodates administration, a gymnasium, physical education, a cafeteria, and other services for the campus. [3] To accommodate future expansion, extra classrooms were added to each building and outdoor rooftop decks were designed to permit enclosure.

The school 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. [4] [5] [6] The architects for the campus were DLR Group. [7]

Design

The buildings' identities are transmitted through bright-colored accents and subtle graphics. The structures rise from masonry bases, while exposed steel beams and abundant windows create a sense of lightness. The expansive windows provide views between interior spaces and the forests outside. The building exteriors are clad in aluminum, fiber cement board, and high-efficiency glass. Environmentally friendly features include skylights to bring natural light into the building to reduce daytime artificial lighting and using the forest shade and operable windows in lieu of a mechanical cooling system. West of the football field is the remaining evergreen trees in a protected wetland. A natural area to the north of the school still exists as a protected wetland with several mature trees. The buildings have been recognized by the Public Utilities District as being energy efficient. [8] Some features that contribute to lowering overall energy costs are:

• Interior lighting that beats code by 24 percent.

• Interior daylighting features and light fixtures with automatically dimmable ballasts.

• Exterior lighting that utilizes a mix of LED and ceramic metal halide lamps.

• Heating and ventilation measures including variable flow motors and pumps, and vacancy sensors to control fans.

Collectively, these measures represent projected annual savings of nearly 353,000 kilowatt-hours and projected annual savings of $27,705 in electricity costs.

School organizational models are methods of structuring the curriculum, functions, and facilities for schools, colleges, and universities. The organizing of teaching and learning has been structured since the first educational institutions were established. With greater specialization and expertise in a particular field of knowledge, and a gathering of like-minded individuals, instructors clustered into specialized groups, schools, and eventually departments within larger institutions. This structure spread rapidly during the 19th and 20th centuries with factory model schools and their "assembly-line" method of standardized curriculum and instructional methods. Beginning with the progressive educational movement in the early-mid 20th century, and again with similar trends in the late 20th and early 21st century, alternative models structured towards deeper learning, higher retention, and 21st century skills developed. The organizational models of schools fall into several main categories, including: departmental, integrative, project-based, academy, small learning communities, and school-within-a-school.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Learning space</span> Physical setting for a learning environment

Learning space or learning setting refers to a physical setting for a learning environment, a place in which teaching and learning occur. The term is commonly used as a more definitive alternative to "classroom," but it may also refer to an indoor or outdoor location, either actual or virtual. Learning spaces are highly diverse in use, configuration, location, and educational institution. They support a variety of pedagogies, including quiet study, passive or active learning, kinesthetic or physical learning, vocational learning, experiential learning, and others. As the design of a learning space impacts the learning process, it is deemed important to design a learning space with the learning process in mind.
