At Hoquiam High School, it's evident to others that we take extreme pride in being Grizzlies. Not only do our sports administration and school board make it a point to show their support for every single event, but you feel a sense of welcoming as soon as you enter our quaint little town. The academics are standard, the clubs are inclusive, and the teachers and staff make HHS comfortable place for everyone.

Hoquiam has its challenges but overall it's a great school with a really supportive community, I think people at hoquiam are very open minded and they have some very liberal views on how the world works

I enjoyed the company of most of the teachers, however the schooling itself I found to be not very challenging. I always planned on doing running start but I more so wanted to because I was just so bored of the information they were giving us. It felt like the bare minimum. I NEVER took schoolwork home.
