Peninsula High School Salmon Rearing Program

In 1975, Peninsula High School became the first school in Washington State to begin a salmon rearing program. Students and faculty helped raise salmon for Puget Sound and local streams, including Crescent Creek. With collaboration and support from community groups, the school received many awards and successfully inspired other school districts to start their own programs, which continue today. The effort is also remembered in connection with Bill Marr, a Peninsula High School student who participated in the original salmon rearing project.
