One Falcon, One Family: Food Drive for WHS Pantry
With the government shutdown and changes to SNAP benefits, many Northshore families are feeling the impact. Food insecurity is a reality in our own neighborhoods—and as Falcons, we take care of each other.
In the spirit of One Falcon, One Family, the students of Woodinville High School are rallying together to support our WHS Food Pantry by collecting nonperishable food and toiletry items.
🗓️ Drive Dates: November 10–21
📍 Where: WHS (more information on donation bins coming)
We’re asking for your help in two simple ways:
- If your family could use some support, please come use our pantry—it’s here for you. Learn more about the Food Pantry by CLICKING HERE.
- If you’re able to give, please donate! Please see the list of most needed items HERE.
Together, let’s show what it means to live our One Falcon, One Family spirit.

PTSA Reflections Art Contest, Due Fri, Nov. 21 by Noon
Reflections is the National PTA arts recognition program that invites students to explore their creativity through visual arts, photography, music composition, dance choreography, literature, and film production. It’s a wonderful opportunity for students to express their thoughts, feelings, and ideas while building confidence and artistic literacy.
This year’s theme, “I Belong,” encourages students to share what belonging means to them. Each submission includes an original work of art and a short artist statement. Students may enter in one or all categories—just one entry per category. Top entries from WHS in the 6 categories will move on to the Northshore Council PTA Showcase, with the chance to advance to the Washington State and even National levels!

2025-26 Advanced Placement Testing Payment and Registration Information
Advanced Placement Exam Registration & Payment is a two-step process (Both parts must be completed for each AP exam to be registered, ordered, and paid for). The deadline for registration and payment is November 14, 2025.
STEP 1: Students login or create a College Board account via myap.collegeboard.org using their NSD email address and enter the “join code” given by their AP teacher to join the class section.
Please note: By joining the class through College Board, students are automatically registered for the exam. If a student does not want to take the exam, they must email Andrea Baleva, abaleva@nsd.org, prior to November 14.
STEP 2: Students PAY for their AP exam fees via www.TotalRegistration.net/AP/481598. (The College Board does not accept payment when registering for an AP exam so we have to use a second party to accept and track exam payment.) AP exams are $108.00 per exam.
IMPORTANT DEADLINES AND INFORMATION
AP Registration and Payment Deadline: November 14, 2025
Late registration fee mandated by College Board: Students may register for an AP exam AFTER November 14th, 2025 and up until March 6, 2026, but will have to pay an additional $40 per exam late order fee.
Any students who qualify for Free & Reduced Lunch are eligible for a fee waiver and will not have to pay for an AP exam. Contact your counselor with any questions.
Students do not need to be enrolled in an AP course to take the AP exam. If you want to take an AP exam and are not enrolled in the AP course, you will still need a join code to register and pay for the exam. Please contact Andrea Baleva, abaleva@nsd.org, to get a join code issued.
CONTACT INFORMATION
Questions? Contact AP Coordinator, Andrea Baleva, abaleva@nsd.org, for general questions regarding AP Exam Registration.
For more information, please visit the WHS AP Website.
Cars and Parking Lots During Options & Lunch
Students, this is a reminder that you are not to be hanging out in cars or in the parking lots during options or lunch. As we reminded you during Falcon Days, this is not a new policy but one that we are returning to reinforcing this year for safety and supervision reasons both for you individually and for all WHS students. We will continue to remind you of this the first two days of school, but expect all students are aware of and following this policy after that.
Passes Required for Elevator Use
As we start the 2025-2026 school year please note that in order to use the elevator, students are required to check out an elevator pass in the Main Office with Mrs. Benedict.
The ONLY students who should be using the elevator are students with medical conditions. If a student is seen using the elevator without a pass that has been checked out, they will receive progressive discipline.
College & Career Center College Visits
ATTEND A COLLEGE VISIT at WHS!
One of the more important opportunities available this fall is the college admissions representative visits. College admissions reps from campuses across the state and country are scheduled to visit Woodinville HS to meet with interested students. We have a huge list of colleges already on the schedule and they are very excited to meet you.
This is one of the few opportunities available to meet the person who may be reading your college application, ask questions about the particular campus, and gather helpful information to use during your college research and the admission/application process.
To see an updated list of upcoming college visits, please look at the right hand side of this webpage.

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.
