Citizens for Hockinson Schools is a 100% volunteer-driven 501(c)(4) organization committed to supporting the students and staff of the Hockinson School District. Our team most recently helped engage the community to pass the four-year Educational Programs & Operations (EP&O) Levy in February 2022 — preserving essential student services that are not fully funded by the state.

Levies make up more than 15% of HSD’s operating budget, ensuring that our schools can provide a safe, well-rounded education. This includes:

• Athletics and extracurricular funding

• Portions of Special Education support 

• School safety personnel and technology

• Student transportation beyond the state’s  reimbursement

• Teachers and support staff 

​​

Student success is directly impacted by these investments. According to OSPI data:

• Hockinson students achieve a 96% graduation rate, well above state average

• 60%+ of students participate in at least one extracurricular program

• Students involved in activities are 30% less likely to be chronically absent

• Participation in athletics/extracurricular activities are tied to higher GPAs and college attendance rates

​​

Without levy support, these opportunities shrink — and students feel the impact first.

​

Why Your Support Matters

Many levy campaigns fail simply because the message does not reach enough voters. To give our students the schools they deserve, we need help with funding campaign outreach, community events, printing, and communications. Your contribution ensures:

• Community Education & Clarity

• Unified Messaging & Outreach

• Volunteer & Support Mobilization

• Accountability & Trust
   

Strong schools make strong communities.

Thank you for standing with Hockinson’s students and helping ensure that every child has the opportunity to learn, grow, and thrive.
