Through house meetings, school wide celebrations, and opportunities to earn points by demonstrating character, kindness, perseverance, and academic effort, students develop a strong sense of identity and collective responsibility while building meaningful connections beyond their classrooms.

Kitsap Lake has also earned Washington State recognition for outstanding student growth and for closing achievement gaps for students receiving special education services, as well as Hispanic/Latino and Multiracial…
