What people are saying

by a parent
Monday, January 5, 2015

Two years ago we removed our son from Steilacoom School District and enrolled him at HP. He was being horribly bullied year after year, and the Middle School failed to handle the bullies and protect our son. HP has been a sort of haven for him. I can't say it's totally "bully free" per say, but they do their best to keep order and enforce their "bully free" policy. They offer an after school program, HPX, to help kids get caught up on missing work and receive more help in areas they're struggling in, and the Computer Clubhouse is cool. Over all its been a good experience for him and we wish we had known about the school sooner. Close Quote
