Ms. Mary Levesque

As a high schooler at Mountlake Terrace High School, I was a trombone-playing, cross-country running, shy, and goofy nerd back in the 90’s. High school was a tumultuous time for me, but where I eventually found my own identity and strengths. I found comfort and joy in building relationships and serving others. Consequently, my passion for people has been my purpose.

My husband and I were married in 1994, and we have six kids. Emily (class of 2013), Natalie (class of 2014), Debbie (class of 2019), Justin (class of 2021), Katie (class of 2024), Zachary (class of 2026). We have lived in Arlington since 2005, in the Crown Ridge neighborhood. Our kids have attended Kent Prairie, Post Middle School, and Arlington High. 

During the long days and nights of raising babies, toddlers, and kids, I needed more social interaction. I found that a happy balance of volunteering helped me meet new people, develop new talents, and build my community at the same time. As a full-time mom for a number of years, I spent much of my time volunteering in my kids’ classrooms and schools. I also volunteered with PTAs quite a bit, serving as secretary, treasurer, VP, and two years as Arlington Area Council President, and then four years on the WA State PTA board of directors.

I currently work at a local hospital helping with administrative duties. I am slowly working on my bachelor’s degree in business management by taking one class at a time online at BYU-Idaho. I still love running, even though I am slow. I find running helps me stay sane and gives me time to reflect. Even when things are tough, we can persevere with patience, teamwork, and positivity. 

 It is an honor to serve on our School Board.
