Mount Adams School District 209 (MASD) is a school district headquartered in White Swan, Washington.[2]

In 1997 it had 1,274 students, with over 60% of them being Native American.[3] In 2019 it had about 900 students.[4]

Its service area includes White Swan and Harrah.[5] It is the second largest school district in Washington State by land area.[4]

In 2019 Janella Retka of the Yakima Herald wrote that the district has a low tax base. The portions in the Yakama Reservation do not have to pay taxes, and that reduces potential revenue going to MASD.[4]

Schools

  • White Swan High School (9-12) (White Swan)
  • Mount Adams Middle School (7-8) (White Swan)

    • The original building was built circa 1937. Attempts to have a new building dated back to circa 1979-1989. Construction of the current facility was scheduled to begin in 2019 on 70 acres (28 ha) of former farmland.[4]
