THS Profiles
Academic CalendarInvesting in the Middle School Yearsby Colby Atwood, Parent of Harbor School Alumni When I was growing up, the conventional wisdom was, “Save for your child’s college education!” The implication was that those were the years of schooling that really mattered. Now that my own children are at the end of high school and in college, I realize that their most important school years were, in fact, their middle school years.

Casa Hogar: Beyond THSThe Harbor School's travel study trip to Casa Hogar is just one aspect of Vashon's relationship with the children's shelter in Guadalajara, Mexico. Sally Adam has also been leading a summer trip to visit Casa Hogar for the past two summers. The students that participate in the summer trip are local high school students--some are even THS alumni who have previously made the journey to Casa Hogar!

Start of School Letter from the HeadDear Families and Friends of The Harbor School: It’s an exciting time here on campus! The school, entering its 16th year, is filled with great people who are eager to move forward with the philosophies and traditions that have served our students so well since 1995. At the same time, with new leadership, there are some changes afoot, and THS will be the better for them. In what we have done in the past and in what we will do in the future, your role as our supporters and advocates cannot be underestimated. Our theme for 2010-11 is “Growing Roots,” and we seek to improve our ties to our community as we root ourselves firmly in our mission to foster the growth of children through a comprehensive education. We are reaching out to everyone who has been (or should be!) involved with the school with the plan of learning from them as they learn from us. I am asking the whole of The Harbor School community to be a part of this effort and to spread the good word about our school to all of the fantastic Islanders whom we know and love.
