Our school is home to a small flock of wool producing sheep and a number of laying hens. The MMS campus is full of plants, fruit trees, and wildlife to observe. With close proximity to Western Washington University and both Lummi and Nooksack Nations, our staff and students have a diversity of opportunities to learn from and connect with the greater community.
