About The Sound

Gig Harbor High School’s publication, The Sound, is a student run publication. Our mission is to create a better sense of community within the school by keeping the students and staff updated on current events as well as highlighting and recognizing personal and academic achievements of people within the school and greater Gig Harbor area. We always encourage letters to the editor as well as any suggestions or critiques about our publications.

Student editors make all final content decisions. Staff Editorials represent a majority opinion of the Sound staff. All material written is produced by students, and does not represent the opinions of the Peninsula School District.
