Alumni/Graduates
Alumni Night
Each spring, we celebrate our alumni as they prepare for high school graduation.
This year we welcomed back the Explorer West Class of 2021!
Our alumni reconnected with one another and their EWMS teachers, toured our remodeled building, enjoyed a pizza dinner, and roasted marshmallows over the campfire. A highlight of the evening was when they received the letters they wrote to themselves on the last day of 8th grade.
Colleges our 2021 alumni are headed to include: The California Institute of Arts | Central Washington University | Eastern Washington University | Montana State | Northeastern University | Roger Williams University | San Diego State | Seattle Central College | St. Olaf College | University of Arizona | University of Oregon | University of San Francisco | University of Vermont | University of Washington | Western Washington University | Worchester Polytechnic Institute
Once a Falcon, Always a Falcon!

Success Stories: Our Alumni are Thriving!
At Explorer West Middle School, we take pride in the accomplishments of our alumni. After spending three transformative years with us, our graduates go on to excel in high schools and higher education institutions, both locally and around the globe. They've embarked on successful careers across a wide array of fields, carrying with them the values and skills they acquired at Explorer West.
The Alumni Journey: From Explorer West to the World
Our alumni's journey doesn't end after they leave Explorer West. They continue to thrive, applying the strong academic foundation and character growth they experienced here to their high school studies and beyond.
Staying Connected: Ongoing Engagement
The connection between our school and our alumni remains strong even after graduation. Many of our alumni, as well as their family members, continue to be a part of the Explorer West community. They serve as coaches, mentors, volunteer Board Trustees or committee members, and more! And they support the school financially through donations to our Annual Fund and the Rick Marting Endowment.
Explorer West’s dedicated, fabulous, experienced staff nurtures and develops our young children into self-reliant young adults.
