To help us reach this goal, PSD will provide all basic educational school supplies to our K-12 students at no cost to families during the 2023-2024 school year.

The Peninsula School District is proud to announce three of its elementary schools have been named 2023 Green Leader Schools by the Washington Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI). 

Swift Water Elementary, Voyager Elementary, and Evergreen Elementary were awarded the honor for each school's work towards creating an environmentally focused school.
