EDUCATION NEWS

  • Earlier this month, Latinx students from Karshner Elementary, Aylen and Kalles Junior High, and Puyallup High School attended the first annual La Chispa Student Leadership District Conference at PHS to build leadership skills, embrace their culture, and support academic success. Teachers selected the students for the half-day bilingual event that featured role models and lessons on goal setting, team building — highlighting the sacrifices made by their families.  Puyallup School District

The School Board has tasked its capacity task force to review potential closures at Spinning and Waller Road Elementary Schools if repair costs or safety issues continue—similar to a past decision regarding the high school library science building.  Puyallup School District
