Our students have been working hard on some awesome projects lately.
They’ve been building walls for an adu through a partnership with KBA, Habitat for Humanity, and the City of Poulsbo. They’ve also been making signage for the Medical Society gala, constructing kiosks for Bainbridge Island Parks, and building a playhouse for the Home Show – Construction in Motion at the Kitsap Pavilion.
On top of that, they’re getting ready for mock interviews with real industry employers—practicing the skills they’ll need after graduation.
Proud of the work they’re putting in every day!

Last week, PCSC Criminal Justice students had an unforgettable day at the Sheriff’s Office, diving into the real world of law enforcement. From the moment they arrived, they were fully engaged getting an up-close look at specialized units like SWAT, meeting the incredible K9 teams, and exploring how forensic experts piece together evidence to solve crimes. They also learned about the day-to-day responsibilities of police operations, gaining insight into what it truly takes to keep a community safe.
Beyond the action and excitement, students discovered the importance of health and wellness in law enforcement, understanding how officers stay physically and mentally prepared for the demands of the job. The experience was both educational and inspiring, giving students a deeper appreciation for the many roles within criminal justice. Thank you PCSO for an amazing day!

Today Mr. Dustin Smith's 8th grade CTE classes welcomed Tri-Tech Skills Center Culinary Program.
Chef Luis Alcaraz and students Waylon English (KaHS) and James Freeman (Home School) presented the power of Tri Tech and the value of the experiences a student can have in their program. This included employability, creativity as well as presentations in real life scenarios.
