Chimacum School District

Today at the Jefferson County Courthouse, the Board of County Commissioners proclaimed June 4, 2026, as Duane L. Montgomery Day in Jefferson County.

We are deeply grateful to the BOCC for honoring Mr. Montgomery’s remarkable legacy as a Chimacum teacher, band director, coach, mentor, and builder of school spirit from 1954 to 1985. It was especially meaningful to have members of the Montgomery family present, including Rick and Cheryl, the Montgomery children, and daughter-in-law Jackie.

As we prepare for the June 4 dedication of the Montgomery Auditorium, we are proud to honor Duane and Mary Lou Montgomery and the generations of students, musicians, alumni, and families shaped by their service.

Thursday, June 4th 7:00 PM

Please join us as we celebrate Chimacum’s deep musical roots, the Montgomery family, and the generations of students whose lives have been shaped by music in the Valley Near the Water. This celebration will honor the lasting legacy of Duane L. Montgomery, beloved former Chimacum band teacher, founder of the Chimacum Marching Band, and writer of the Chimacum Alma Mater, still sung today: “In the valley near the water stands our alma mater…”

The evening will feature student musical performances from 2nd through 12th grade, including songs from our 2nd and 3rd grade students, the 4th–6th grade elementary drumline, the Jr./Sr. High Band, small group performances, and a big finale. All are welcome!

Chimacum School District had a fantastic time at Saturday’s Rhody Parade! We loved the sunshine and cheers from our community as we walked and rode with our CVT student-built ship, the Chimacum FEED Truck, and a school bus. Thank you to our amazing students, staff, board members, and Northwest Towing & Recovery for helping make the day so special! Rhododendron Festival Association
