Mariner High School is located south of Everett, Washington in the Mukilteo School District. It was built in Everett, Washington in 1970 as the only high school serving the Mukilteo School District, until 1993 when Kamiak High School opened. Its school colors are Blue, Gold, and Silver. Mariner’s mascot is officially the marauder although an orca named Splash is usually substituted. It serves grades nine through twelve. Mariner has three "Professional Learning Communities" which are named after the school colors: Blue, Gold, and Silver. Each "PLC" has certain staff that the students in the PLC will work with as long as they are in that PLC all the way up to their 12th grade. PLCs are the result of the extinct Academy system the school used to use. Blue: LEAP, half of Vertu, and half of AOL (being the largest). Silver: ICAT and the other half of Vertu. Gold: Quest and the other half of AOL.

The Marauders football team led the team to the WIAA State Tournament in 2006, 2007 and 2008.[citation needed] The Marauders boys basketball team also made three recurring trips to state in the 2006-07, 2007–08, and the 2008-09 seasons. The Marauder soccer team competed in the WIAA State Tournament in 2011.
[edit] Culture
Mariner High School was a recipient of the Achievers Scholarship which was funded by The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.[citation needed] This scholarship was provided to Washington State's (and Washington D.C.'s) high crime, low-income areas. Most of the Achievers schools were focused in urban areas: Tacoma, Seattle and Everett. There were 16 Achievers schools. Unfortunately, the Achievers Scholarship program has ended, the last cohort being the Class of 2010. This scholarship program made a significant and positive difference in the lives of myriad Mariner High School graduates.[citation needed]
