Harbour Pointe Middle School (HPMS) is an International Baccalaureate middle school in Mukilteo, Washington. The school was built to accommodate overflow population from the overcrowded Olympic View Middle School when the Mukilteo School District decided to switch their junior high schools (7th and 8th grade) to middle schools, in which they added 6th grade, for the 1993 - 1994 school year, and is one of four middle schools in the district. The school is open to grades 6, 7, and 8.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.schooldigger.com/go/WA/schools/0543001185/school.aspx )〕 It is one of three schools in the district with a special needs Life Skills program.
