Location edit

The campus adjoins John Gable Community Park, and is adjacent to both Bowerman Basin in Grays Harbor and the Grays Harbor National Wildlife Refuge. It is roughly 16 miles from the Pacific coast, 25 miles from the Quinault Indian Reservation, and 45 miles from the Olympic National Park.

Faculty, student body and activities edit

The principal is Brock Maxfield, who attended the school as a student, and vice principal is Bonnie Jump.[2] There are 34 full-time teachers, with an average of nearly 12 years experience, offering 120 courses in the arts and sciences.[3] There are 32 percent minority students, including 18.2 percent Latino and 5.5 percent Native American.[3] The campus was built for roughly 1,200 students, while less than 500 are now enrolled in part due to the economic decline of Grays Harbor County (as a result of the dwindling logging trade in the mid-to-late 1980s).

The school provides a variety of student activities. The school fields a marching band and cheer squad.[4] Each year, the Drama Club presents theater to the community.[5] The mascot is a Grizzly Bear.

 
Hoquiam Olympic Stadium, home turf for the Grizzlies football team.

The athletics programs are a source of school spirit and community pride. The track was reinstalled and rededicated in 2005, and the boys track and field team won the state championship in 2012 and 2013. The football team plays its home games at Olympic Stadium with a capacity of 8,500. A more than 100 year tradition is the game against neighboring Aberdeen High School, which has been described as one of the greatest high school football rivalries in the nation.[6][7][8]
