We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Attended for nearly 4 years and loved all of my teachers, you can get help from them easily. Office staff is amazing as are the faculty in general. If someone has a hard time with anxiety, the classes generally smaller which helps. The food isn't nearly as good but the ladies work hard to make sure it tastes better when is it significantly despising. Overall good school and community, people always come back after moving or after college.

The big club is Key Club at our school at Wahkiakum. I have participated in it and we collect money and do fundraising activities throughout a week of school to collect money for Doernbecher Children's Hospital. For being a small school we collect a lot of money putting on the activities we plan.
