Preparing Students for the Journey Ahead

Our goal is to prepare and support 100% of our students by cultivating their interests, unlocking their full potential, and guiding them as they align their skills, talents, and purpose with career pathways.

Student Achievement

Mission

The mission of the Chehalis School District, in partnership with the community, is to meet the individual learning needs of students by providing a comprehensive student-centered educational program that inspires and prepares them to become responsible, contributing citizens.

Our Goal – 75 by 35

Our initial student achievement goal, established in 2013, was for 60% of WF West graduates to earn a postsecondary credential starting with the Class of 2022.

In the fall of 2023, our Student Achievement Steering Team convened to set a new course, 75 by 35! We are working to ensure that, by the high school graduating Class of 2035, 75% of all W.F. West High School graduates will earn the credentials they need to be responsible, contributing citizens.
