Welcome to the Peninsula School District

Welcome to the Peninsula School District, where over 8,000 students across 17 schools embark on a journey of learning and growth every day. Nestled across the stunning Puget Sound from the vibrant Seattle/Tacoma area, our district spans 120 square miles of beautiful landscapes on both the Gig Harbor and Key Peninsulas.

At Peninsula School District, we are proud to be recognized as one of the most innovative and robust districts in Washington State. Our vision is simple yet powerful: to inspire and empower every child, every day. Our mission is to ensure that every student becomes a successful and engaged global citizen through cutting-edge programs and a nurturing culture that fosters a true sense of belonging.

We are dedicated to supporting each child on their unique path to excellence, providing the tools and encouragement they need to thrive. Join us and be a part of a community where every student’s potential is recognized and cultivated daily.

 

We are a proud Purple Star Designated School District

A purple star in a circle with the text 'Distinguished Purple Star School for Supporting Military Connected Students.'

This designation shows that we are a military-friendly school district and have specifically trained our staff to understand, help transition, and support our military students.

Purple Star Schools help military-connected students transition successfully with measures that include:

  • Training a staff member to ease entry into the new academic environment,
  • Student-led programs to help create social connections,
  • A military family webpage on the school website to inform parents, and
  • Relevant professional development opportunities for additional school staff.

State programs may require schools to meet additional criteria such as holding school-wide military recognition events that encourage tolerance and inclusion.
