What a fantastic winter sports recognition assembly we had on Friday at CHS!

We celebrated the incredible accomplishments of our winter athletes this season, and it was inspiring to see all they’ve achieved. A special highlight: our wrestling team presented a heartfelt token of appreciation to Brandi Nelson, ASB and Athletic Secretary, recognizing her years of support to the wrestling program. ❤️
Moments like these remind us just how important athletics are in our students’ lives—building character, teamwork, and lifelong skills both on and off the court, mat, and field.

💡 Remember: programs like these are made possible through levy funds. Athletics and extracurriculars depend on our community’s continued support!
In White Salmon, local levy funds make up 16% of the district’s overall budget. EP&O levy funding supports student programs like athletics, music, extracurriculars, and after-school opportunities. Learn more at www.wsvsd.org/page/bond-levy

🔥 Real-world learning in action!

We’re so grateful to Washington DNR for spending time with our White Salmon Academy and 9th grade Earth Science students last week! Students explored careers in wildland firefighting and natural resource management, then got hands-on experience conducting fuels transect activities right here on our school property.

Our students learned to identify different fuel types and make science-based recommendations for fire mitigation and prevention - skills that matter in our community. This kind of relevant learning is exactly what we aim to provide for students.

Thank you to the DNR team for sharing your expertise and inspiring the next generation! 🌲
