We’re thrilled to share that Hood Canal School is featured in a four-page spread in the latest issue of Tracing the Fjord magazine! The article shines a spotlight on our vibrant outdoor education programs, showcasing how we connect students to the natural world through hands-on learning, cultural experiences, and environmental stewardship.
The feature includes quotes from students and staff, stunning photos of our programs in action, and a powerful glimpse into the heart of our school’s commitment to outdoor learning. From salmon-themed science activities to ethnobotany hikes, the article captures what makes Hood Canal’s approach so unique.
We’re incredibly grateful to the dedicated team that makes this possible every day—especially Toby Syrett, Heather Akiyama, Winter Strong, and all of our amazing teachers and staff who bring these experiences to life. A special shoutout to our staff photographers for capturing such beautiful moments, and to Tracing the Fjord editor Rachel Hansen for sharing our story with such a wonderful layout.
