Taking Care of What We Have

Capital Projects Levy Background

The South Kitsap Board of Directors approved a resolution for a Capital Projects Levy to fund districtwide improvements for safety & security, technology for learning, and facilities for school and community use. 

This levy represents months of thoughtful planning, community collaboration, and professional expertise. Throughout the development process, the district worked with the Facilities Steering Committee and the Finance Advisory Committee. The district also brought in consultants like architects, engineers, and construction professionals to evaluate the feasibility of projects and develop realistic cost estimates.

The theme of the Captial Projects Levy is Taking Care of What We Have. The proposal focuses on protecting and improving the facilities our students and community use every day. We believe the levy projects are practical, responsible investments that reflect the priorities our community helped establish.

IMPORTANT TASK FOR ALL FAMILIES!

Dear Families,

It’s that time of year again—Impact Aid Survey time! Beginning October 1, the annual Impact Aid Survey will be available to complete. Please take a moment to complete this form as soon as possible!

 Link with directions: How to Complete the Impact Aid Program Survey

Why does it matter? Impact Aid brings important federal funding into our schools, helping support the programs, services, and resources our students use every day. And here’s the really important part: we need EVERY family to respond!

Even if you are not active-duty military and even if you do not work on federal property, please don’t skip the survey. We still need you to answer the questions so we can account for every student and ensure our information is complete and accurate.

It’s quick, it’s easy, and your response truly helps! 

Every survey counts—and every response helps support our schools and students.

Thank you for taking a few minutes to help us bring valuable funding back to our district!

Welcome to Discovery High School!
Discovery is a choice school within the South Kitsap School district and we offer a variety of opportunities for students to take alternative routes to a high school diploma with the support from school staff who work to meet the individual needs of students. Through our positive culture, we encourage students to become responsible, respectful, and resilient in their academic and life skills. Discovery High School supports students who find the traditional school setting does not meet their needs and desire a different way to learn. Our mascot, the Phoenix, is known for rising from the ashes as it is reborn just as our staff is committed to ensure all Discovery students are able to re-ignite their passion for learning, reach their goals of graduation and leave us with a plan for their future. 

~ Pat Oster, Principal
