Peninsula offered an excellent array of physics classes that allowed me to find the love of learning and gave me the boost to have a desire to become an engineer. Awesome Physics teacher, Mr. Newman!
Peninsula used to have a reputation as being a great district but I think those days are long gone. The reputation has stayed but it's not deserved. Many children are being failed by the district in reading and math. They also have a reputation as serving the "in the box" learners ok but if your child is outside the box or neurodivergent they will not getting any supports. Most in the community pay for outside services due to massive failure by the district.
Born and raised in Gig Harbor, Washington, I have grown up learning through the Peninsula School District. From Purdy Elementry to Peninsula High School, my overall education experience has been incredible. No matter what grade I was in, I always had endless support from the teachers and staff at each school. Peninsula School District always makes sure their students are safe and in the best learning environment. Every teacher in the district makes sure each and every student of theirs is successful and ready for the next step in their education. Whether it's helping individual students after class or providing additional learning resources, all teachers in the district ensure that their students are continuously growing and learning.
