What Hockinson High School does

Hockinson High School is a public high school serving grades 9-12 in Brush Prairie, Washington, operating as a unit within the Hockinson School District (a government state entity). The school delivers a comprehensive college preparatory curriculum augmented by Advanced Placement courses, a Career & Technical Education (CTE) program, music and theater programs, 17 interscholastic sports teams, and 18 student-led clubs and organizations. Academic outcomes demonstrate measurable strength: 10th-grade students outperformed state math averages by 19.1 percentage points, and the Class of 2028 improved ELA by 21.2 points and math by 10.1 points over five years. CTE enrollment reached 892 students in 2024-25 — the highest in school history and a 40% increase since 2021.

The school's technology stack is built on standard K-12 SaaS platforms rather than proprietary infrastructure: Qmlativ (Student Information System), Schoology (Learning Management System), Apptegy (web content management), Destiny Discover (library management), Nutrislice (menus), InTouch (payments), First Student (transportation), Smore (newsletters), Edgenuity (virtual academy curriculum), HelpCounter (volunteer management), and Google Workspace. These systems support enrollment, daily instruction, family communication, and ancillary services. A new Skilled Trades Center, fully donor-funded, is scheduled to open Fall 2026 to expand CTE capacity in framing, construction, plumbing, and electrical work.

Hockinson High School operates as a tuition-free public institution funded primarily through state basic education allocations (50.8% of the district General Fund), a voter-approved local EP&O levy (~13-14%), federal categorical funding, and private donations/grants including from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the Ed and Dollie Lynch Foundation, and local benefactors. Fee-based community education programs (summer camps, adult classes) provide modest supplemental revenue. The school distributes its programs through multiple channels: traditional on-campus enrollment, the Hockinson Virtual Academy (online grades 6-12), Running Start (dual-credit courses at Clark College), Cascadia Technical Academy (cooperative CTE across 10 SW Washington districts), and community education offerings. Marketing and family engagement occur through the school website, social media (Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, X), and weekly newsletters.
