West Sound Technical Skills Center
Students are getting real, hands-on construction experience by building walls for an ADU in Poulsbo through several community partnerships.
Through collaboration with local organizations, these students are learning industry-level skills, working as a team, and contributing to a meaningful project that will directly impact the community. From layout to fastening, they are applying what they’ve learned in the classroom to real-world construction.
This is what career-connected learning looks like—building skills, building confidence, and building the future.

NCTA Core Plus Construction students have been hard at work in the community! 🔨🌿
In collaboration with the Anacortes Parks Department and alongside Steve Phillips, students are constructing critter-proof and wind-resistant trash enclosures to help keep public spaces clean and tidy.
This hands-on project is a great example of students applying their skills while giving back to the community. Many thanks for the opportunity and partnership! 🙌

Money & Business students celebrated the holiday of love with a brand-new logo drop at our Valentine’s Pop-Up! Congratulations to our a.m. and p.m. student winners who designed the winning logos, helping showcase student creativity while strengthening our connection to the school and our future goals.
🏆 AM Winner – “Paint Your Path”
Graphic Design: Clayton, Frost & Kadence
Marketing Team: Alejandro, Megan & Avery
🏆 PM Winner – “Kmart”
Graphic Design: Kai, Liz & Thalia
Marketing Team: Gemma & Leland
The event was a huge success, with students grossing over $1,200 in sales during the pop-up. In a great example of cross-program collaboration, our Baking & Pastry program sweetened every purchase by providing a free Rice Krispy treat to the first 20 customers in each session.
Needless to say, after a strong day of sales and plenty of school spirit, there were no free desserts left by the end of the event!

☘Happy St. Patrick's Day!! Look who we found at the end of the rainbow...none other than our ASB President, Chloe Nelson 🌈 Did anyone catch her this past weekend at the St. Patty's Day Parade? She was there because she is a Spokane Lilac Princess.
This is a HUGE honor as she is SVT's FIRST Lilac Princess. She even made the Royal Court's Top 7 down from 17. By March 28 we will know if she made it to Queen...stay posted.
The Lilac Royalty Scholarship and Development Program provides an opportunity for outstanding young women to be recognized for their achievements. Each Lilac candidate selected from her high school will participate in an eight-week program which supports character building and servant leadership, with a strengthened focus on community service, integrity, and teamwork.
Visit https://spokanelilacfestival.org/ to find out more or ask Chloe. We'd love to have more SVT Lilac princesses in the coming years.
