Hoquiam School District Calendar 2026-2027

At Emerson Elementary, Hoquiam High environmental-science students have helped kindergarteners learn how seeds sprout and wildflowers grow. That cross-age Earth Day work offers a small portrait of Hoquiam School District: older students bring technical knowledge to younger children, and the forests, wetlands and coastal environment of Grays Harbor become part of the lesson.

Emerson serves the earliest grades. Students then divide between Central and Lincoln elementary schools before reuniting at Hoquiam Middle School and Hoquiam High School. The common-split-common route preserves smaller elementary communities while bringing the city together again for adolescence. Place-based work continues across those stages. Third-graders created shorebird art for the Grays Harbor Shorebird and Nature Festival, and Building Construction Trades students completed a workbench for a community member.

Music, athletics, Native education, clubs and family events add other forms of connection. HomeLink gives grades three through twelve a supervised home-centered option, while the physical schools remain the main expression of district life. Young children meet high-school mentors, technical students work for local residents, and coastal environmental study begins well before secondary school. Hoquiam repeatedly turns its landscape and community needs into shared educational work.
