Heritage High School was built in 2008, though the school traces its history back to Project Salmon at Marysville Pilchuck High School in the 1990s.[2][3]
Since 2022, Heritage High School has replaced traditional tests and grading with the "Big Picture" model, a focus on experiential learning and a year-end project to demonstrate mastery of curriculum. Students spend three days a week in class and the other two days doing internships and independent study. Education at Heritage is also community based, in partnership with the Tulalip tribes.[4] For example, a student interested in marine biology can work with the tribal fishery to gain experience. Heritage High School aims to "decolonize" education.[5]
