U.S. News and World Report recently named Steilacoom High School to their “Best High Schools 2023” list. The school also received this honor in 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2022.  Steilacoom High School is ranked 37^th out of 754 public high schools in the state of Washington.  High schools around the nation were ranked on the following indicators of school quality:  college readiness, college curriculum breadth, state assessment proficiency, state assessment performance, and graduation rate.

The district's 2023-24 Summer Information Packet includes all the information you will need for a successful start to the 2023-24 school year!

Paper copies of all information included in the packet are available at the District Office located at 511 Chambers Street in Steilacoom.

A reminder from our Food Services team:

Applications for Free and Reduced Lunch are available now in Skyward Family Access.

Once approved, your eligibility entitles your student to one free/reduced breakfast and lunch each day. Any items over the first meal will be charged at the a la carte rate.

We encourage all eligible families to apply in the Food Services tab in Skyward, as an approval can provide additional benefits such as waived extracurricular ASB activity fees and AP testing fees.

The August 16, 2023 regular meeting of the Steilacoom Historical School District Board of Directors is canceled due to the lack of a quorum.  The Board of Directors intends to hold a special meeting in August to conduct business and take public comment.

The annual Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) provides children in lower-income areas with nutritious meals during the summer. Good nutrition is essential for effective learning every day, all year long. Just as learning does not end when school lets out, neither does the need for good nutrition.

Summer meal programs help children aged 18 and under get the nutrition they need to learn, play, and grow during the summer. This federally-funded program is sponsored by many organizations throughout our state, including schools, nonprofit organizations, local governments, tribes, and more.
