During user experience interviews conducted for the SPS website redesign, families shared their hope was that the new design would better represent our community with imagery and icons. One solution to answer this request has been the incorporation of Northwest Coast Native art as part of the overall design theme. The design is visible in several key locations and pages across the district and all school websites.

The project team was able to connect with the artist Andrea Wilbur-Sigo, Squaxin Island, Skokomish. Andrea generously agreed to allow SPS to use one of her designs, which has been incorporated into the website theme design.
