A Message from the Mayor

Welcome to Auburn, a 120 year old city that is young at heart. This community of almost 70,000 people, with a service area of a quarter of a million, understands its role as a community center in the middle of two counties, yet still believes in its heart of hearts that it is a small town.

Welcome to Auburn, the arts and entertainment center of two counties with the largest outdoor amphitheater, largest horse-racing track, largest casino, live theater and a real live Main Street.

Auburn is the land of two rivers, thirty minutes to the sky slopes, ten minutes from water skiing and thirty minutes from the ocean.

Pete Lewis We have housing that is a century old to some of the newest developments in the region available to you with 13 elementary schools, 4 middle schools and 4 high schools, along with our beautiful Green River community College tucked away in a forest-like setting.

All roads meeting in Auburn are located at the center of the Puget Sound Region as well as both major rail lines

Auburn Schools Strive for Excellence

Welcome to the Auburn School District! The district is centrally located between Seattle and Tacoma, at the center of the Green River Valley of South King County.

The district encompasses approximately 60 square miles and serves a population of 70,000 residents. More than 14,600 students attend Auburn’s 22 schools. The district strives for academic excellence. A broad range of programs provide students opportunities to excel. The district motto, “Engage, Educate, Empower” represents the commitment to student success.

Our students are amazing citizens. Our schools provide the local food bank and blood bank with generous donations to support the

needs of the community.

Students excel in academics, arts, debate, and leadership activities. Journalism, music, robotics, career and technical, athletics, yearbook, and associated student body are examples of programs where students garner state and national recognition.

Partnership with Communities in Schools, City of Auburn, Auburn Youth Resources, Boys and Girls Clubs, White River Museum, Junior Achievement, and YMCA result in an array of programs where students thrive academically and socially. High school and middle school career fairs, Reaching Out Fair, and gang prevention events foster healthy community actions that build on the strengths of our youth.

Parades, Good Ol’ Days, and youth days create a community spirit that nurtures the development of our children.

The future is promising with the many successes our students attain including Grammy Awards, scholarships, 92% of students meeting standards, post-secondary success, and community participation. Our schools develop both the academic skills and character of our children.

The Auburn School District champions its diversity. The richness of the cultures that represent our student body is an asset to student learning. The school board provides strategic leadership for the continuous improvement of our schools. Our
