Enumclaw School District -

Join us today as we reflect on the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and his enduring message of equality, service, and hope.

Dr. King reminded us that “Life’s most persistent and urgent question is, ‘What are you doing for others?’” As we celebrate his work and vision, let’s strive to foster kindness, understanding, and unity across the Enumclaw School District and our community.

All buildings in the Enumclaw School District are closed today.
