⚓ A big milestone for Maritime|253!
Today marked our first-ever governing board meeting, bringing together representatives from all eight member districts that make up this South Sound collaboration: Chief Leschi, Fife, Franklin Pierce, Orting, Sumner-Bonney Lake, Tacoma, University Place and Vashon Island.
After the meeting, the board toured the site to see construction progress firsthand — with crews moving forward on paint, sound barriers, electrical, HVAC and more. We can’t wait to welcome students this fall!

Today two of our second year students Elijah and Paige visited a local preschool to share in their annual plush puppy adoption event. The preschoolers got to listen to how to properly care for their newly adopted puppy buddies! Pre-Vet Tech way to represent!

Sophomores, Landry and Albert, semester 1 GeoGuessr Champs!!!
This is the third year of it. It became a tradition by previous students bringing it to Mr. Robbin's attention and it's been played ever since.
GeoGuessr tests your geography skills, observation, and deduction by making you guess real-world locations from street-level images. Oh and it's timed too!
This has been a great team, learning, and community building tradition at SVT.

Over the past two weeks, our ITS & Cybersecurity students tackled the Floor Project — a hands-on experience using our raised floor system that mirrors real-world data center and telecom installations.
Each year, students design a new classroom layout based on current and future needs, then completely rewire the room to support it. This project is 100% student-designed, planned, and built — and they’ll maintain it for the rest of the year. Real-world skills in action!
