School Overview

Gig Harbor High sits in one of Puget Sound's most picturesque waterfront communities, where sailboats dot the harbor and the pace of life feels a little more relaxed than nearby Tacoma — but the academics are anything but laid-back. The school consistently performs near the top of the state in English and math, making it a strong draw for families who want rigorous academics without the pressure-cooker feel of a big urban district. If you're the kind of family that values a tight-knit community, outdoor access, and a school where kids genuinely seem to know each other, Gig Harbor is worth a serious look.
