Central Kitsap students started school in their brand new building about 5 weeks ago. Not only do freshmen feel lost around the new building but upperclassmen are getting lost too. Its a brand new school year in a brand new high school not only just for the students but for teachers and administrators as well.  

The old high school was about 77 years old and it was time for a new building.  A $220 million bond proposal was approved by voters in 2016 for all the expenses of the new school.  It took about 2 years to build and only 186 million dollars were used. The new building is very spacious and has new technology and furniture, which the other school lacked a lot of.  “I think a lot of the teachers are happy they have nice windows that they can look out of… the teaching technology is also updated…so I think this has helped to create a positive attitude,” said administrator Mark Keel. 

Unlike the old school, our new school has our very own football stadium. “We use to load up 3 pick up trucks to go to home games and now we just walk everything to the field,” said head coach, Mark Keel. 

“I miss the old school just because three years there was a long time and even though it was crusty, old and gross, its where I met a lot of great people..sometimes it feels like I’m not a senior in the new building… but now I go to math class and see a view of the Puget Sound and it makes me feel calm,” said by senior, Alexandra Newman.
