Julia Butler Hansen Elementary opened in September 1994 and is located on Olympia’s west side. Hansen was named for Congresswoman Julia Butler Hansen. The school contains three pods of four to six classrooms as well as two adjoining classrooms. The physical structure of the facility provides individual classrooms with the flexibility to allow team, multi-age and multi-year teaching situations. Separate space is also available for classroom activities and English Language Learners support. The facility includes a Learning Resource Center, Hansen Family Services center as well as a gymnasium, multipurpose room and music room.
In September of 2017, an additional seven portables and a new 10 room mini-building will open. Hansen houses the Hansen Alternative Program (HAP), a program that emphasizes multi-age classrooms and parent involvement. Another available program for teachers is the National Board Certification, a rigorous training process that focuses on enhancing student learning.
