Mr.Garcia is the Dean of students at the school of Executive Leadership and Entrepreneurial Development. This is Mr.Garcia’s second year at Olympic , although it is his 12th year working in education. Mr.Garcia likes his job because he “enjoys interacting with all of the students” and that “the staff are great to work with.” As a teacher, Mr.Garcia felt that he was more limited to the student he could work with. Now, Mr.Garcia gets to interact with many more students, as well as seeing and helping more students reach their goals.
The school of Executive Leadership and Entrepreneurial Development is a great place for students to focus on business and tourism. Me.Garcia hopes to see the juniors and seniors get internships so that they can apply their skills to the real world. Business and Global were combined to make this school, however Mr.Garcia says that there is no difference among the students. Mr.Garcia thinks it is great to be a Trojan!

T.E.A.M the new manufacturing school by: Kabrea Ward
The newest school in Olympic Community of Schools is T.E.A.M. T.E.A.M. stands for Technology Entrepreneurship Advanced Manufacturing. Mr.Ward is the principal. He has been a principal for 8 years as of this school year and loves his job. The school offers P.L.T.W. classes, introduction to engineering, principles of engineering, engineering design, business classes and much more.
The school currently has only ninth and tenth graders in their school. So at the moment there are no internships or summer jobs. But in the near future there will be internships. Going to T.E.A.M. students can be offered many job opportunities throughout their four years. “We will allow them to have high paying jobs shortly after high school through certification or 2 year associate degree” – Mr.Ward.
So if you enjoy engineering and machines or maybe want to make a career out if it consider T.E.A.M as a school.
OHS school locations

To compensate for the amount of students at Olympic community of schools this year, all the schools have been moved around to control traffic. Renaissance has moved to Global’s old hall way, upstairs. Biotech has mostly stayed the same, with the exception of a couple classrooms being moved downstairs. METS is in the same building. TEAM has been moved to the old Renaissance trailers, with a few classes in the building. The manufacturing school has combined Business and Global, and can be found in Business’ old hallway. One student, Harrison M., says “The schools are much more organized now.” No one we interviewed knows if the school changes are permanent or if schools will repaint their hallways to their school colors and settle in.
