Central Kitsap High School

Central Kitsap High School is a secondary school located in Silverdale, Washington, United States. It is one of seven secondary schools in the Central Kitsap School District. CKHS teaches grades 09–12. CKHS was for the first time ranked in the top 2% of the nation academically in 1984 and has continued to be through the 2015–2016 school year. CKHS has also garnered two Washington Achievement Awards for closing the Achievement Gap, and has also appeared regularly in the U.S. News & World Report as a nationally ranked school (Data complications with the move to adding ninth graders in 2014–2015 have led to an erroneous omission for the 2016 list).

CKHS is a four-year high school, serving grades 9-12 on and off since 1924, as district reconfigurations occur periodically. It was built in 1924 and is the second oldest high school in the state. Beginning in school year 2016–2017, CKHS began competing in the South Sound Conference with seven other 3A schools. In the fall of 2017, the groundbreaking ceremony for the new CKHS and Central Kitsap Middle School building was held. CKHS moved to the new building over the summer of 2019, with classes beginning in the new building in the fall of 2019.
