Washington High is structured into three autonomous schools serving students in grades 9 through 12. These schools include the School of Information Technology, the School of Law, Education and Public Service, and the School of Expeditionary Learning and Outward Bound. The curricula for each is intended to challenge students at a variety of levels and includes a component requiring students to take courses at the university level during their senior year.

The restructuring of our comprehensive high school is a natural movement from our successful academy programs. Students who were involved in our academy programs were demonstrating success in high school and beyond. Our staff's experience with the small school concept provides a solid foundation for the development of our small schools. Washington's teachers are engaged and leading the change process at our school.

Washington HS is a technology-rich environment (about 3 students per machine). However, number of machines along does not ensure success. The program at Washington incorporates a full range of academic and elective subjects where students learn with and about technology; involves students in excellent extra-curricular activities including our well-known sports program and speech/debate team; encourages students with tremendous scholarship support from the Washington HS Alumni Foundation.

At WHS you'll find a rich environment with students from 14 different countries, a strong academic program several aspects of which are nationally recognized, strong community connections through partnerships with several dozen area businesses.

All this is consistent with our Mission Statement: In partnership with the community, Washington High School fosters strong academic and character development of youth.
