 As we celebrate our 10th Anniversary, thewaveprogram (TWP) has become a cornerstone of the Pacific Grove Community. Its success is a testament to the dedication and expertise of the Professional Head Coaches at Pacific Grove High School (PGHS), as well as the invaluable contributions of PGHS student counselors, student-athlete volunteers, and community volunteers.

The primary goal of TWP remains to introduce the youth of Pacific Grove to the wide range of extracurricular activities offered by the Pacific Grove United School District. We recognize the immense value of engaging kids in sports and enrichment activities, which help to cultivate leadership, enhance teamwork, foster confidence, improve academic performance, and contribute to a positive school and community culture.
