Sequim School District Calendar 2026-2027

Sequim School District serves the Dungeness Valley between the Olympic Mountains and the Strait of Juan de Fuca. Greywolf and Helen Haller elementary schools form the two main early-grade communities, followed by Sequim Middle School and Sequim High School. Sequim Alternative Schools add flexible public-school routes, while the regular progression brings most students together as the district moves from neighborhood elementary life to one secondary community.

The district maintains a Native Education Program in a region shaped by Indigenous history and continuing tribal presence. One concrete expression appeared in the 2025 Otter Raft Campout, where students explored the natural environment, engaged with Indigenous culture and heritage, developed leadership and built community with staff and family chaperones. The activity brought culture, outdoor learning and family participation together in one shared school experience.

The Dungeness River also becomes a working classroom. Through a partnership with the North Olympic Salmon Coalition, seventh-graders study salmon needs, survey restoration plots, learn field methods and return later in the year to carry out habitat work. At the high school, career courses in agriculture, business, digital communication, health science and skilled trades extend that applied approach. Younger students encounter it through activities such as Future Chef, where grades three through five present recipes tied to family traditions and global flavors. Sequim’s valley setting supports a progression from family knowledge and environmental fieldwork to technical and college-credit pathways.
