Culture

Mariner High School was a recipient of the Achievers Scholarship which was funded by The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. 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. The scholarship program made a significant and positive difference in the lives of myriad Mariner High School graduates.[5] This high school contains a variety of backgrounds and cultures that led to it being the most diverse high school among South Everett. Being related to that, a new after school club was created in the school year of 2017-18, which is often only seen in community colleges and universities. This after school club is named M.E.Ch.A ( (Spanish: Movimiento Estudiantil Chicanx de Aztlán) (English: "Chicanx Student Movement of Aztlán"), this after school club is organized by two students of color from the graduating class of 2019. Who offer an outreach to first generation students attending higher education. Mariner High School M.E.Ch.A contributed with Voyager Middle School [6]and its 8th graders getting ready to transition into high school. (M.E.Ch.A JR.)
