About SMS 

exterior of Snoqualmie Middle School

Snoqualmie Middle School (SMS), nestled in the heart of picturesque Snoqualmie, offers a dynamic learning community for students in sixth through eighth grades.

The school was built in 1972. In 2013 the building was repurposed as the Freshman Learning Center for Mount Si High School, and SMS students were rezoned to either Chief Kanim or Twin Falls Middle School. In 2019, when the new MSHS campus opened, the ninth graders were reincorporated into the high school and SMS reopened as the district's third middle school. 

SMS provides a vibrant and nurturing environment that fosters academic growth, personal development, and community engagement for its students. From core subjects like mathematics, language arts, social studies and science to enriching elective courses, after-school clubs, and a no-cut sports program, students have a wide array of opportunities for academic exploration and personal, social, and emotional growth.
