ASVAB Career Exploration Program/Test - Wed, March 20, 2p

If you are still figuring out your future, trying to determine what your dream job may be or just looking to identify your strengths, you should seriously consider participating in the ASVAB Career Exploration Program. Before you are scared off by the word "ASVAB," please note that 83% of students who took the ASVAB in the past 5 years were NOT interested in joining the military. However, for those of you who ARE military-bound, the ASVAB can also be used as a Graduation Pathway to meet our state grad requirements, if needed.

We are currently planning to offer the ASVAB on campus at WHS on March 20, 2024 (it's a Wednesday) @ 2:00 PM. The test will be taken on your district laptop and takes about 45-90 minutes to complete (depending on how fast you go). 

If you are interested in taking the ASVAB (it's free), please email Ms. Tang at mtang@nsd.org ASAP to sign-up.

Math Tutoring Help

Need help with math? Register here for a FREE session! You can receive help that covers high school levels up to Pre-Calculus. This is free for all high schoolers. For more information please reach out to gabi@centroculturalmexicano.org.


FAFSA/WASFA Information

If you are planning to pursue a certificate program, job training, apprenticeships, or college (2-year, 4-year, trade school, technical school etc.) after high school, they may qualify for financial aid! Even if you think your family may make too much, please plan to apply for financial aid through the FAFSA or WAFSA.

The FAFSA is currently in their "soft launch" phase. Do not panic if the site is down. This is a new process for everyone this year and colleges will have to accommodate this new timeline.

Remember, you can also apply for the WASFA account on the Washington Student Achievement Council website if you’re ineligible to use FAFSA (Take a questionnaire on the link to see if the WASFA is a good fit for you).

Remember to utilize all the resources here to help you fill out the FAFSA:

Reach out to your counselor if you have any questions! It is a confusing process but we can get through this together!


Falcon Food Pantry

The Special Ed Department and WHS are proud to announce the opening of the Falcon Food Pantry on site here in Room 617!  The Falcon Food Pantry is a food bank available to any student and/or family who could benefit from getting some extra, free resources. This is a great new opportunity here on our campus! We are relying on community support to get it up and running and help make it a success!  Food donations will be accepted throughout the school year in the Food Pantry box in the Main Office or in Room 617. Reach out to Ms. Roy if you should have any questions. A wish list of items is posted on the website homepage under News & Events. Thank you for your support!


“I don’t HAVE to mask any more, but should I?”

That’s a very good question!
What are the current recommendations for when you are sick?

Testing is no longer required and we do not have test kits at school any more (if you would like free tests, please visit: https://www.covid.gov/tests). Buuuuuuuuuuuut…

Remain home until symptoms are improving.
Stay home if you have a fever. 
Remain home for 24 hours AFTER the fever has passed.
Stay home if you have vomited or have diarrhea. 
Remain home for 24 hours since the last time you experienced those symptoms.

WHS Accreditation

Woodinville High School participated in the Washington State Accreditation process in the 2022-23 school year. 

  • This is a voluntary process that takes place every 6 years, where we demonstrate that here at WHS we provide our students with a high quality and rigorous education.
  • Accreditation is an inquiry-based process, tightly aligned to our Strategic Action Plan, and the work we do at WHS. 
  • Accreditation is not only an internal review of how we are doing in meeting our goals, but also an external review process where we share our work and improvement plan with both a site evaluation review team and a state level review panel.

We are pleased to announce WHS was accredited for another 6 years, with our school noted as exceptional.
