Mission & Philosophy
The Winter Lakes High School mission is to “Meet students where they are and take them beyond.” As students at Winter Lakes Schools prepare for College, Career and Citizenship, we provide a setting that enables every student to:
Learn - by participating in classes in English, Science, Math, Social Studies, Second Language, Art, Health, Physical Education and Electives that are taught by highly qualified teachers and staff.
Personalize - their education through study in on-line classes, standards-based assignments, project-based learning, internships with local businesses, Career Technical Education, and flexible schedules.
Engage - by practicing self-advocacy, exercising personal responsibility, and learning 21st Century skills and content designed to prepare graduates for life after high school in post- secondary education or a career.
We are fortunate to have some wonderful community partners throughout the Coquille Valley that allow our students the opportunity to intern at various businesses and organizations. We are proud of our campus, our students, our academic programs, and being a school that develops and encourages creativity and student voice.
Winter Lakes Schools offer something for all types of learners. Some learners do not choose a bigger, comprehensive school, but one where they are known and supported by all staff in a smaller setting. If you attend or visit Winter Lakes School, you will see that learning is a choice and that we expect students and staff to choose to learn every day. Being committed to our school is necessary; compliance is not enough. In today’s global economy there are many skills that must be learned. More than a high school diploma is necessary for a full life of opportunity.
