Sultan School District #311

Yesterday, the District executed the "Sultan Direct Transfer" with the Department of Natural Resources (DNR). Approved unanimously by the Board of Natural Resources, the District acquired the piece of DNR land that has been on the Board meeting agenda over the past several months. The land is 49.46 acres, abuts a City of Sultan Urban Growth Area, and was paid for by impact fees at $455,000. This will be an asset for years to come! Questions? Call 360-793-9800.

The Advanced Ag Technology and Welding classes at Sultan High are learning to design and create projects by using the industry-based software, Autocad. Student designs are then cut out of steel or aluminum with a Computer Numerical Controlled (CNC) plasma cutter. The United States flags are $150 per flag. The proceeds will go back into the program to support the students! If you are interested, please contact Matt Widaman - Career and Technical Education (CTE) instructor at Sultan High School. Thank you for your support!
