Port Angeles School District

What Port Angeles School District does

Port Angeles School District is a public K-12 school district located in Port Angeles, Washington, serving more than 3,500 students across its assigned geographic boundaries. The district operates a network of nine schools: five elementary schools (Dry Creek, Franklin, Hamilton, Jefferson, Roosevelt), one middle school (Stevens, currently being replaced by Hurricane Ridge Middle School), one traditional high school (Port Angeles High School with 964 students), one alternative high school (Lincoln High School serving 60-100 students), and Seaview Academy, an approved multi-district online school serving 450+ K-12 students throughout Washington State. The district provides comprehensive public education including core academics, career and technical education, dual-credit courses, special education services, athletics, music and arts programs, counseling, nursing, transportation, and a free meals program.

The district's underlying technology stack is composed of standard K-12 administrative and learning platforms: Finalsite for website management, Skyward for the student information system (gradebook, attendance, family/student portal), BoardDocs for board governance, Frontline for HR and applicant tracking, Nutrislice for food services menus, SafeSchools Alert for safety reporting, and Edgenuity and Buzz as the learning management systems for Seaview Academy. Ruckus provides the wireless network infrastructure, and Clever provides single sign-on across educational applications. No proprietary technology platforms, patents, or AI/ML products are disclosed; the district's intellectual differentiation is concentrated in its CTE curriculum, the Wildcat Café hospitality program, and its Klallam language offerings.

The district operates as a government state entity under Washington State law, funded primarily through state education appropriations under Washington's funding formula, federal education grants (Title I, IDEA, CNP), and voter-approved local revenue measures. Free K-12 education is provided at no charge to students per state law, with ancillary fee-based revenue streams including preschool programs and community facility rentals (notably the 1,205-seat Performing Arts Center and Monroe Playfield artificial turf athletic complex). The district recently secured a $140 million capital bond (November 2024) and a $34.7 million EP&O Levy (2026-2029), and is currently executing three concurrent capital projects — Hurricane Ridge Middle School (opening Fall 2027), Franklin Elementary replacement (2028), and Port Angeles High School modernization (2029) — collectively representing the largest infrastructure transformation in the district's modern history under the leadership of Superintendent Michelle Olsen, who assumed the role on July 1, 2025, in her 24th year with the district.
