From the Principal’s Desk:
It is an honor and privilege to begin my fourth year as
Principal at Washougal High School. I
look forward to working with the WHS community on continuing to improve our
school. This endeavor will be a team
effort. In order to ensure that every
student acquires the skills, knowledge, and understanding necessary to be
successful in a constantly changing and more diverse world, we will need to
work together.
As we approach a new school year, please encourage your son
or daughter to participate in some kind of activity beyond the school day. WHS offers a wide variety of clubs and sports
for students to join. For parents or
guardians, I encourage you to join our Booster Concession group and/or attend a
PAC meeting. PAC is made up of parents
who provide tremendous insight to the building leadership team. The Boosters Concessions group provides an
opportunity for clubs, activities, classes and sports teams to earn money for
their programs. For information
regarding the Booster group or PAC please contact the office at 954-3100.
Together we can make the 2013-14 school year a success!

HSPE and EOC Information
Students who have not met standard
on one or more state high school exams have plenty of options. They should take
the reading and writing HSPE in August and a math or biology EOC exam in
January 2014. They can also use one of the Certificate of Academic Achievement
(CAA) Options, or state-approved alternatives. Learn more by visiting www.k12.wa.us/assessment/CAAoptions. You can also visit www.WAtesting.com
for information on state testing.
State testing is just one of four
graduation requirements your child must meet in order to earn a high school
diploma. We encourage you to meet with your child’s counselor as early as
possible to ensure your child is on track to graduate.
