South Kitsap High School is a public high school in Port Orchard, Washington, located at 425 Mitchell Ave.

It was originally built in 1921. An addition was made in 1962 followed by two addition and modernization projects in 1978 and 1980. The 337,392 square foot (31,300 m²) building is located on a 51.46 acre (20.8 hectares) site. In excess of 2,500 students are enrolled across three grades (10th-12th) with 125 teachers.

South Kitsap High School is a three-year comprehensive public school. The South Kitsap school year is divided into three trimesters of 60 days each. Each student has the possibility of earning two credits per trimester (1/3 credit per course), or a total of six credits each year. South Kitsap is on an extended three-period schedule. Students select six classes per trimester. Classes meet for approximately one hour and forty minutes every other day.

The majority of the school is in excellent condition and modernization has taken place in the professional technical area.

[edit] Mascot

The South Kitsap School Mascot is Roscoe D. Wolf, a cartoonish mascot whose true identity is intended to be kept a secret from the rest of the school. His appearance has changed throughout the past few years, most recently to include a very large butt. He is present at most football and basketball games.

Essentially, the mascot of South are the wolves, but Roscoe acts as the leader of the pack. The wolf is a pack oriented animal that represents South Kitsap's uniqueness in sticking together. The only strength of a wolf is in a pack of wolves, therefore the 'wolves' of South Kitsap rally behind their lead wolf/wolfess.

There is also Grandfather Wolf, a several decade old stuffed wolf on a wheeled cart. Despite his tail that has a habit of falling off and overall general tattered appearance, he makes appearances at almost every pep rally, and students are asked to stand as he enters the room.

Go Wolves!!
