Academics

Timberline High School has a successful program for the National Science Bowl competition, earning a second-place finish in the 2019 Western Idaho Regional competition and winning the 2020 Western Idaho Regional competition.

Students have tracked and studied a group of wild wolves, called the Timberline pack, since 2003.[13] The biologists who track the pack noticed its den in the Boise National Forest was empty in the spring of 2020.[14] The Idaho Department of Fish and Game wolf mortality list showed that pups were killed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture Wildlife Services branch.[15] The federal agents killed the pups in order to force the adult wolves to relocate and to reduce the predators' population as they can pose a threat to wildlife and livestock.[13]
