Attention Community Members! 🌟
Our Small Gas Engines class is looking for lawn mowers for students to fix as part of their hands-on learning experience. If you have an old lawn mower that you no longer need and don’t want back, we’d love to give it a new purpose in our classroom!
Donated mowers will provide our students with valuable skills and knowledge, and we greatly appreciate your support in helping them learn and grow.
If you’re interested in donating, please call the high school at 509-738-6388 for more details. Thank you for supporting our students and their education! 🚜🔧

🎉 Exciting day for our students! 🎉 Today, they had the incredible opportunity to explore the Job Corps program, getting an inside look at potential career paths! 👷♂️🔧
They toured the welding and masonry programs, watched skilled instructors in action, and got hands-on experience . They also had a chance to check out the dorms and commissary, gaining insight into what life would be like if they joined the program. 🛠️🧱
These experiences are helping our students see the many possibilities that lie ahead after graduation.
We honored local veterans and staff members who have served during our Veterans Day assembly.
