Legal issues

In 2016, Gary "Chris" Twombley, a Mercer Island High School teacher was accused of having an inappropriate relationship with a sophomore student. Another person came forward in 2023 with allegations, and this pressure revealed that the school district had kept the issue quiet. Twombley relinquished his Washington State teaching license while resigning from the school district.
