Greetings West Linn-Wilsonville School Community -What makes this district so special is that while we draw upon students, families and patrons from two cities, we are ONE community, made stronger by our mission of creating learning communities for the greatest thinkers and most thoughtful people for the world. We have compelling District Goals, that drive strategies and actions for improving how we teach, learn and lead in cultures that are inclusive, courses that are academically rigorous and results that generate equitable outcomes for each child.
This year, our West Linn-Wilsonville theme is “Leading for all.” We continue to focus our leadership moves, our instructional practices and our district resources to ensure each child, every child achieves success in our schools.
To a great 2018-19 year!
Kathy Ludwig, Superintendent
Wilsonville High School received a Unified Champion Schools National Banner at the Youth Leadership Summit on Tuesday, Oct. 9.
Unified Sports is a program through Special Olympics that blends equal numbers of Special Olympics athletes and athletes without intellectual disabilities (also known as unified partners) into one team.
Wilsonville High School was named a national Champion school after completing an application process last spring. Special Olympics determined that Wilsonville High School had met national standards of excellence in the areas of inclusion, advocacy, and respect. Wilsonville High School joins West Linn High School, who was named a Champion School last school year.
Families, students, staff, and community members came together on Saturday, Oct. 6 to enjoy the annual CREST Fall Festival. Between cider pressing, bunny rabbits, seed saving, chili testing, and the pumpkin patch, there was plenty to do. Families learned about all that CREST has to offer this coming school year, capping off another successful Fall Festival. Thank you to everyone who came out and enjoyed the day's festivities!
The West Linn-Wilsonville Business Office will welcome a new addition to its ranks on Monday, Oct. 8.
The department has hired the first of two student interns in West Linn High School junior Tommy Abboud, who will learn alongside district staff after school. Tommy has aspirations of pursuing a career in finance and business, with a particular interest in math. He is currently enrolled in a business class at Clackamas Community College and wanted to join West Linn-Wilsonville to gain real-world experience in the business world.
"I have always been interested in business," he said. "I want to find ways to learn more and be prepared for college and my career. I think this internship will help me a lot."
Tommy will have the opportunity to perform a variety of duties for the business department, also learning to build professional relationships and work in a business setting. He will have the opportunity to study under Business Office staff for the next two years.
Interested high school students from Arts and Technology High School, Wilsonville High School, or West Linn High School can contact Chief Financial Officer Son Le Hughes if they're interested in applying for an internship position.
