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 2002[3] and has continued to be through the 2015–2016 school year.[4] 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).
In 2014–2015, CKHS became a four-year high school, serving grades 9-12 as part of a district reconfiguration movement. Beginning in school year 2016–2017, CKHS began competing in the South Sound Conference with seven other 3A schools. CKHS has also begun planning for a new CKHS building to be built on the same site as a result of the district passage of a bond initiative. The new building is expected to open in the fall of 2019 while remaining open in its current location.
