The majority of the school district is contained within Mason County boundaries, but also includes a portion of Kitsap County near the tri-lakes area of Mission, Tiger and Panther Lakes. There are 7 public school districts in Mason County, with North Mason being the second largest, with just over 2,200 students. The district is considered progressive in its rural setting which covers 129 square miles of forested countryside, bordered by saltwater shorelines. The nearby Cascade Mountain Range, lend a spectacularly scenic backdrop to the lush green trees and blue waters of the Kitsap Peninsula that is admired by all who are fortunate enough to live here. The school district is made up primarily of one high school (NMHS), one middle school (Hawkins) and two elementary schools (Belfair and Sand Hill). There is also an alternative high school ( P.A.C.E. ) which provides a quality education program for non-traditional learners. In order to reach the growing population of home-school families, the district also has the HomeLink program which incorporates public school education within the home-school based setting. North Mason is especially proud of its status as a nationally recognized leader in environmental education, as well as the significant numbers of students that partipate in arts, athletics, advanced technology and college-prep courses. High school students participate in hands-on instruction at the Mary E. Theler Wetlands and elementary students participate in salmon rearing each year. The North Mason School District graduates every student academically prepared to confidently and productively meet future challenges.
