Admissions Policy

All high school students who are residents of Oregon are welcome at WLHS. We accept ninth graders through students aged 20-years-old. We welcome all students regardless of their academic levels, challenges, and goals. We have students who are behind grade level in all subjects or just one subject; students who have emotional, learning, and physical disabilities; and students who are earning their associate degree in tandem with their high school diploma. We have students who choose to come to school every day; students who travel for family, work, or sports and cannot come to school every day; and students who are unable to attend school in person. We are not a traditional school with a traditional school schedule. We can meet whatever needs a student and their family might have. (Coquille School District does have a separate program for Adaptive Lifeskills Students.)   

For students who want to transfer from Coquille High School to WLHS, please contact Julie Simpson at the Coquille School District office (541) 396-2181. Currently, there are no parent-requested transfers from one CSD school to another in the middle of the school year.

Students residing in other Oregon School Districts must obtain an Interdistrict Transfer (IDT) from the student’s home District. The IDT process begins with the student’s current school District Office. Transportation for IDT students is the responsibility of the student and their parent/guardian. Per Coquille District Board Policy JECB: “The district is not required to provide transportation outside the boundaries of the district. The student will be allowed to use existing bus routes and transportation services of the district.”
