"From the Pearl Lakes to Snake River...
From Seattle to distant Rome...
We must always love and cherish...
Our High School and our Home."―Twin Peaks Alma Mater[src]
Twin Peaks High School was the high school in Twin Peaks. Laura Palmer was a student at the time of her murder and classes were ended early the next day after a moment of silence.
As of 1989, the school mascot was a Steeplejack, which replaced the Lumberjack as early as 1969.

Behind the scenes[]
In the pilot episode of Twin Peaks, Twin Peaks High School was shot at Mt. Si High School in Snoqualmie, Washington, with some of its students – such as Holly Borgholthaus and Jim Pennington – being used as extras. The building seen in the pilot was demolished in 2019.
The rest of the series was filmed in Los Angeles, necessitating the use of a set in a scene of "Episode 5"[3] and Van Nuys High School throughout the second season.[4] The school's field, seen in "Episode 17," was shot at 1924 Lake Drive in Beverly Hills, California. [5]
In Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me, Snohomish High School in Snohomish, Washington served as the filming location.
The school's mascot is stated to be a Steeplejack throughout the original series and Twin Peaks: Access Guide to the Town, while The Secret History of Twin Peaks instead identifies a Lumberjack as the mascot. Additionally, "Cats" can be seen on the intercom system in the pilot episode, likely referring to Mt. Si High School's mascot, a Wildcat.
