Every Student: A Dream and a Plan

The Department of College, Career, and Life Readiness focuses on opportunities that help foster student aspirations and support their plans in school and beyond graduation.

Career and Technical Programs

Career and Technical Education (CTE) is a critical component of a student’s middle and high school journey. That is why Peninsula School District offers CTE courses that prepare students for both college and careers by enabling them to explore interests, develop skills, and grow academically. Participating in CTE courses helps students not only discover their aspirations, but also develop a plan to reach those aspirations.

West Sound Tech Skills Center

Specialized CTE equipment can be expensive for district’s to purchase and maintain, so regional skills centers, like West Sound Tech Skills (WST) in Bremerton, offer programs for students who attend school in neighboring districts. PSD students can attend half-day CTE programs at WST to obtain high school academic credit, college credit, industry certifications, career-connected learning, and college entrance requirements.

Summer Satellite Academy

In cooperation with West Sound Tech Skills Center, Peninsula School District offers classes during the summer for students who will be enrolled in high school for the 2021 -2022 school year. It is a great way to get ahead on high school credit and build your aspirations!

Varsity Letter in Community Service

Engaging in community service is a way to uplift others, the community, and oneself. The impact on the lives of others and the community at large can be lasting. It is also a great way to enrich your skills at relationship-building, empathy, problem-solving, and leadership. Peninsula School District is proud to honor students who contribute to our community with the Varsity Letter in Community Service. This opportunity is available to students going into 9th through 12th grade and can be repeated through each year of high school.
