We want to recognize the many paths our seniors will take after graduation.

If you are going into the workforce, we want to know!
Come by the Guidance Office to let us know your plans and we will post them in the hallway display case.
2024 Laurels Recognition Night
Our annual Laurels Night is scheduled for May 23rd. What is Laurels Night?
Laurels Night is an event with a dual purpose. The first is to recognize seniors who have earned scholarships for post-secondary education. We invite community groups such as the Kiwanis, the Rotary, and others to come that night to officially present their scholarship awards.
The second purpose is to celebrate our Seniors’ academic successes. On Laurels Night, we present medals to our valedictorians and salutatorians, awards to our top scholars, and stoles to class and ASB officers.
To be honored at Laurels Night is a reward for hard work! If you have been awarded a scholarship let us know by bringing a copy of your award letter to the Counseling office or emailing it to Ms. Gutierrez at: gutierrez@skschools.org

Transcript Requests and Graduation Verification Requests
South Kitsap School District partners with an online service called Parchment.
Many colleges, universities, and employers across the country are already part of the Parchment network. This online process sends your transcript quickly and securely to the destination of your choice (college, employers, etc.)
This service is for all transcript requests, official or unofficial, current students or alumni.
**If you are a parent/guardian requesting on behalf of your student, please use the student's information when filling out the registration.**
Do you know where you’ll be sending your transcript when your final grades are in?
If the answer is yes, then place your order now. Your transcript won’t be sent until your final grades are on it. Why wait?
