#ThrowbackThursday | Sedro-Woolley High School – 2005-2006
As we count down to graduation for the Class of 2026, we’re taking a look back at the 2005-2006 school year at Sedro-Woolley High School. Wow! It's already been 20 years for this group of students!
That year’s yearbook theme was “The Wonder Year” with a TV-guide style cover titled “Season Finale: The Class of 2006 Moves On.” From state championships to spirited Homecoming celebrations, the pages capture the energy and community that have long been part of Cub culture.
You’ll see highlights from FFA, Loggerodeo, athletics, Homecoming Week, and some unforgettable spirit days. And in one photo, you might even spot a couple of familiar faces who now work right here in the district. Let’s just say we’re glad they’re in the classroom these days and not climbing onto the car on top of Low Auto Sales.
As we celebrate our graduating seniors this spring, it’s fun to look back at the moments, traditions, and memories that connect generations of Cubs. Do you see any of your classmates in these photos?
Once a Cub, always a Cub. 💙
Students and seniors explored how artificial intelligence is shaping today’s world, while also exchanging something equally valuable—life lessons, practical skills, and stories that span generations.
We’re grateful to everyone who helped make this meaningful intergenerational experience possible. Opportunities like this remind us that learning doesn’t only happen in classrooms—it happens through connection, curiosity, and community.
This photo shows the incredible group of Sedro-Woolley High School students who took part in the event. We are proud of each of them for representing their school and community so well.
Students in science teacher Laura Degerness’s classes visited the aquarium and learned how scientifics conduct conservation research to help protect kelp forest and sea otters.
Experiences like this allow students to see science in action and learn how research and conservation efforts help protect the health of our oceans.
Thank you to Ms. Degerness for creating meaningful learning opportunities that connect classroom lessons to real-world science.

Completed with the 2021–2026 Capital Project Levy
• Sealed exterior block and brick to address water intrusion
• Installed new hot-water boilers on the east end of the A Building (August 2021), replacing decades-old steam boilers. The newer system is smaller, heats water instead of steam, and improves operational safety and efficiency.

• Replaced C-Building roof
• Replaced gym roof
Planned improvements if the replacement levy is approved
• 2027: Replace field turf at Janicki Fields
• 2027: Replace track surface
• 2028–2029: Janicki Fields drainage and infield improvements (Phases 1 and 2)
• 2030: Replace Janicki Fields restroom facility
• 2028: Window replacements
• 2032: Parking lot paving and maintenance
• 2032: Add three tennis courts
In addition to site-specific projects, the proposed levy supports ongoing districtwide facility, safety, and technology needs that benefit all schools, including the high school. These projects occur throughout the six-year levy period and are not tied to a single year or building.
• School Resource Officer support (in partnership with the City of Sedro-Woolley)
• Ongoing technology replacement and infrastructure support
• Security camera replacement and system maintenance
• Telephone system replacement
• Flooring replacement (carpet and tile)
• Student furniture replacement
• Exterior painting
Planning note: Athletic facilities listed above are district-owned instructional and extracurricular facilities used for physical education, school activities, and WIAA-sanctioned events, and are maintained as part of the district’s overall facilities inventory. Projects shown reflect short-term recommendations developed for the proposed levy. Long-range facility planning is underway separately to assess future needs over the next 10–20 years.
The Sedro-Woolley School District has begun the search for its next Superintendent and invites families, staff, and community members to share their perspectives.
