The "new" Harbor Ridge Middle School sits on a bluff high above downtown Gig Harbor. The spoiled students enjoy amazing picture post card views of Gig Harbor and Mt. Rainier.
When I was a kid this was Goodman Middle School home of the Roadrunners. Before that it was the only high school in Gig Harbor. It was named after Mrs. Goodman, an original Gig Harbor teacher. My mom used to ride with Mrs. goodman in her Model T early to school to stoke the fire before classes started. Mrs. Goodman was about 90 and my mom was 5!
By the time I attended Goodman I was compared to my parents by the very same teachers for being "louder, busier..." you get the idea. When I graduated from 8th grade I received my grandmothers high school ring 50 years prior (to the day!). I also have my great-grandmothers graduation ring from Gig Harbor High. She was born in Gig Harbor 1898.....
