Aberdeen Schools
Keeping you informed about our schools -- Dec. 5, 2025
Focusing on the future
Students in Career and Technical Education courses at Aberdeen High School visited Miller Junior High School before the Thanksgiving break. Setting up in the gym at Miller in an expo format, the students shared their experiences in the career exploration classes that will be available to Miller students when they advance to the high school.
And this week, right after the break, members of the Grays Harbor community participated in Career Day at Aberdeen HIgh School, giving students access to first-hand information about post-secondary training opportunities and an opportunity to hear from career professionals in their areas of interest.
"Offering career and college exploration activities for our students provides opportunities for them to discover new options, helps determine areas of interest and helps students continue to refine their own high school and beyond plans," CTE Director and co-Superintendent Lynn Green said. "We especially appreciate the involvement of our Aberdeen alumni and other organizations, businesses and college representatives who shared their knowledege and expertise."
Between CTE Day at Miller and Career Day at AHS, students truly are bringing their future into focus.

Foodball Team comes together to help at food bank
More thanks to this year's amazing Foodball Team which raised more than 1.1 million "pounds" of food and cash in collaboration with Hoquiam to support our local food banks. In the photo above, students gathered at the Coastal Harvest distribution center to help organize family dinner boxes prior to Thanksgiving. This year marked the 45th annual drive. Speaking jointly on behalf of the district, Co-Superintendents Lynn Green and Traci Sandstrom said, "We are proud of our students for continuing to prioritize this service each year."
