Students and families are invited to join us for a Maritime|253 Student Drop-In Event on Tuesday, August 25, from 4-6 p.m. Whether you're already enrolled in Maritime|253 or working through the enrollment process, this is a great opportunity to get familiar with the facility, meet our staff, and connect with fellow students before classes begin.

Event Details:

• Tuesday, Aug. 25
• 4–6 p.m.
• Maritime|253 Skills Center, 1225 Maritime Center Drive

Guests can take a self-guided tour, explore industry-grade equipment and learning spaces, meet Maritime|253 staff, connect with fellow classmates, and learn more about the programs, college credit opportunities, industry credentials, and career pathways available to students.

Maritime|253 is a regional skills center supported by nine member school districts: Chief Leschi Schools, Clover Park School District, Fife Public Schools, Franklin Pierce Schools, Orting School District, Sumner-Bonney Lake School District, Tacoma Public Schools, University Place School District, and Vashon Island School District.

Each member district is guaranteed student enrollment seats and is represented on the Maritime|253 Governing Board by its superintendent. Together, these districts help guide the vision and direction of the regional skills center while expanding access to hands-on, career-connected learning in maritime, technology, port operations and logistics, sustainability, and advanced maritime manufacturing.
