The contractor is just waiting to receive the wall art and the “Old Town Silverdale” monument to install. It almost looks like a new school! Josh Farley of the Kitsap Sun featured the beautiful addition in one of his Beat Blast video blogs.Īfter months of construction and inconveniences for nearby businesses and drivers, the Silverdale Way improvement project is essentially complete. The grand opening for the remodeled Olympic High School took place January 24.

The new addition houses an auxiliary gym, choir room and classroom space. The Klahowya Secondary School addition was completed for the opening of the 2018/2019 school year. A celebration of Central Kitsap High School’s 95 years of service is slated for the last day of school, before it too is demolished over the summer. Generations of former staff and students walked through the school, looked at old yearbooks and reminisced. In late February, there was a public send off for the old school, before it is demolished. The Central Kitsap Middle School will open to students after spring break. Central Kitsap High and Middle School campus The CK School District is doing what it said it would do with the voter-approved bond, and the kids and families living in the district are better off because of it.

It is wonderful to see progress being made on the Central Kitsap High and Middle School campus, and the completion of Klahowya Secondary School and Olympic High School. I’m excited about all these projects, and have provided brief updates below. There is a lot of construction happening in Central Kitsap – especially in Silverdale.

The Roads division personnel were put on mandatory 12-hour shifts starting on Super Bowl Sunday and running through February 15. I want to give special recognition to our Public Works department. Our facilities staff came in to check on the many buildings on our Port Orchard campus and clear sidewalks and parking lots so staff could get to their offices.

These include our Kitsap County Sheriff’s Office deputies and jail staff, whose services are called upon 24/7/365, no matter the weather. Many of our public servants couldn’t stay home with their families during the snow days as they serve in essential roles to protect the safety of citizens. We did manage to have some playtime in the snow! I was thankful to be safe at home with my wife, even though we lost power for two days. Anyone in Western Washington last February will likely share their own stories of “Snowmaggedon” for years to come.
