* F or weeknight lessons: Due to the uncertain nature of the high school swim schedule, it is a possible that lesson times will be pushed back to accommo-
  date swim meets during swim season. Example: If a swim meet gets over at 5:45pm, all classes will start 30 minutes late to give staff time to set up and
  allow for transition time. Staff will do their best to notify families as soon as possible.

GUARDING THE SOUTH SOUND HOMELAND SECURITY
THE OLD-FASHIONED WAY
A formal, permanent National Guard of Washington came gradually and
haltingly into existence in the decade before statehood. Originally deployed
to support communities with urban fires, they later served the nation in a
foreign conflict. Historian Bill Woodward locates this origin story in the South
Sound area, and explains how the Guard’s dual mission continues to serve
state and nation in the 21st century.
