Special present-day trends of school advancement plus a tremendous increase in en- rollment necessitated general expansion throughout this period of time. Results tallied a senior high school, a junior high school, twelve grade schools, two extended day care schools, and three lcindergartens. In the year of 1921, there existed eleven school dis- tricts, each of which had its own Board of Directors, but during 1941 consolidation took place, South Kitsap District 402 was formed with five over-all directors elected to guide the entire organization. At this time Joe C. Knowles, superintendent of the senior-junior high school, assumed new duties as superintendent of District 402. Now serving on the Board of Education under the chairmanship of Earl Baker are Otto Jarstad, Allen Hodge, Frank Allen, E. McDowell with Mrs. Margaret Hiersch clerlc of the board.
