The Washougal High School On-Track Program is based out of the new Excelsior building and is designed to meet the various learning needs of Washougal High School students. The program’s goal is to work with credit deficient juniors and seniors to develop personalized pathways to graduation and post high school career plans.
Personalized pathways will be based on each student’s interests, needs, and previous knowledge. Every student has a dedicated educational coach who knows them personally, supports them in setting and reaching their academic and post-secondary goals. The students will work closely with their coach to be successful in their core senior academic classes, recovering credit, as well as build college and career ready skills.
Students will engage in hands-on and cross curriculum learning tasks that require them to collaborate with others, think critically, problem-solve, and manage their progress. Students will also learn through individual projects the skills they can use to be successful in their post high school career plans.
