Celebrating Culture, Talent, and Unity!
Our 2nd Annual Multicultural Assembly was a beautiful celebration of diversity, talent, and community! It was inspiring to see so many cultures represented through music, dance, poetry, and incredible instrumental performances. From singers to guitarists, dancers to spoken word artists—our students showcased their talents with heart and pride.
A huge thank you to the MLSH Colors of the World Club for organizing and presenting such a meaningful event. Your hard work and passion made this assembly truly special.
We had so much fun and are already looking forward to seeing this tradition continue to grow in the years ahead!

Croissant Envy... and Now Danishes Too?!
We’re not saying we’re jealous… but okay, we totally are. Our Culinary Arts students have been baking up a storm, and the results have been nothing short of mouthwatering.
First up—our AM students wowed us by making croissants from scratch. Staff participated in a blind taste test, judging flaky layers and creative flavor combinations without knowing whose plate was whose. What a treat!
Then our PM students brought their A-game in a Danish competition, crafting both sweet and savory Danishes that were equally impressive. Every bite was a showcase of skill and creativity.
Congratulations to our winners!
AM Winning Group: Reagan Golladay, Alexia Ramirez, and Kolton Hansford
PM Winners: Brayan Farias and Hadasa Sanchez
We are so proud of all the students for their incredible work. Hats off (and chef hats on) to these rising culinary stars—you’ve truly raised the bar!
Congratulations to WST Medical Careers teacher, David Young who received the VFW's National Citizenship Teacher Education Award! Well deserved. #wstworks

WST Fire Science Students had a great day thanks to Central Kitsap Fire. CKF brought a Fire Engine down so that students could experience working with the hoses and breathing the compressed air. Students experienced what it is like to change oxygen tanks, use high pressure hoses and work as a team.
