Shanice Hrouda
Shanice is a very focused, dynamic, multi-faceted individual. Shanice is that student who works to her own amazingly-high standard without regard for peer pressure. She is by nature very curious of all subjects. She’s always willing to contribute in class with the highest regard and respect for her classmates and teachers. This makes here a terrific leader-by-example for students and an inspiration to her teachers. Shanice is the complete student: curious, responsible, involved, and highly intelligent. She will not give up until the work is done and the concepts are mastered -- and she has a great sense of humor to boot. She is simply a joy to teach.

She belongs to many clubs and participates in a myriad of activities. She has just been elected President of the Key Peninsula Youth Council, and tries to come up with ways to improve the lot of KP kids. On their behalf, she spoke at a meeting of Pierce County Transit to protest cutting bus service to the Key. She belongs to Life Savers, Speech & Debate, Chinese clubs, as well as the Honor Society. She volunteers her time at the Minter Salmon Hatchery and wants to become a marine biologist.

Wendy Christiansen
Wendy Christiansen deserves a standing ovation! She has been an inspiration to staff, students and our community. She not only supports students in a very successful and inclusive Employment Transition Training Program (known as ETT II), she encourages students and staff to reach for success in all areas of life. She guides people to recognize their strengths and to capitalize on them. She teaches people the power of self-empowerment through community service and citizenship as well as skill development. She has advised the Key Club, and Community Inclusion Program as well as served on the district and building diversity committee. With her encouragement and leadership, we had 25 students earn community service letters (145+ hours of service) through The United Way. She has dedicated 30+ years of “building communities where families and persons with disabilities come together with friends, neighbors, community members to share resources and supports.” Wendy is a true professional. She enjoys being with her family, swimming, biking and running in her spare time. Much of her spare time is spent with kids and families in the community. Wendy is a PHS graduate and we are very proud and pleased that she is here at PHS, where everyone is valued as they are.

Donna Forbes

Donna has a long history with the Peninsula School District. She graduated in 1970, and has been working and volunteering in the PSD for the past 18+ years.
