Important Message for WHS Student Drivers from NSD Safety and Security

Attention Falcons who drive to our campus:  A safety concern was cited that must be addressed. WHS students leaving after school that drive west towards Woodin Elementary on NE 195th MUST NOT turn left (south) onto 131st Avenue NE in an attempt to miss traffic at the four-way stop near Woodin Elementary.

Numerous young children and parents in the neighborhood on 131st are walking to Woodin or are parked in the area along 195th Street to pick up their student from Woodin at that time.  Teen drivers have been witnessed speeding and behaving recklessly, along with other questionable acts. Students are asked NOT to take this shortcut.  

Thank you for your prompt attention to this important safety concern.

Cultural News


Today we remember Victoria Woodhull, Despite being born into poverty, she was successful in all her endeavors, including acting, stockbroking, journalism, and lecturing. She even ran for president of the United States in 1872. During her time, Woodhull shocked feminists by going beyond advocating for women's suffrage and, instead, pushing for a single sexual standard for both genders, reform of marriage and family institutions, and free love.

Student Celebrations


State Speech & Debate Results

The Speech and Debate season officially ended the weekend of March 18 with the State Debate Tournament. The prior weekend was State for Speech Events. For speech, Arman Abdhollmohammadi came in 9th place overall, and Mariam Kazmi came in 11th place overall in Impromptu Speaking. For Lincoln Douglas debate, Wesley Gerrish finished in the middle of the pack, but was the 9th best overall speaker. He had the highest speaker points out everyone in prelim rounds, which means he beat four people who broke to finals rounds. For Speech and Debate, there are roughly 30-32 students who qualify for each event, and they are the best kids in their areas around the state. Our area (district 2) is the most competitive in the state, and only 6 Impromptu Speakers and 8 debaters make it to this tournament. Regardless of where our students finished, making it to state at all is a big deal, especially when we are competing against programs that are larger and more established. We have attended the State Speech tournament online for the last few years, but this was our first run at State for Debate. Wesley did an incredible job representing WHS in this tournament! Please congratulate Arman, Mariam, and Wesley if you have them in any of your classes, and thank you to Aneet Bains for her leadership!


WHS Theatre Wins Superior Award!!

On March 17-18 the WHS Theatre Company traveled to the State Thespian Festival at WWU in Bellingham to participate in some very exciting and educational workshops, learn new skills and perform a cutting from their fall play, The Laramie Project.  Senior Mya Hariri also performed a monologue she presented at the Regional Thespies in December in front of a packed house.

The WHS Theatre performance of The Laramie Project received a Superior Award (the highest honor) from the judges, and Mya won first place for her solo monologue.  Congrats to all of the performers!


Girls Golf Starts Season Out Strong!

The Lady Falcon Golf Team had matches with Newport on Monday, March 20 and Mount Si on Thursday, March 23 last week. As the team includes some first-time players, they are focused on continuous individual improvement in each competition. Highlights this week include Ava Miltenberger scoring under par at the beautiful and challenging Newcastle Golf Club course against Newport. The match against Mount Si was ultimately called after the 6th hole due to inclement weather at the Echo Falls Country Club course. Coach Sayah sees a lot of potential in this team this season as they move to the next match against Eastlake at Sahale Country Club next Thursday. Go Lady Falcons golf!


Students Compete at Regional National History Day Competition!

On Saturday, WHS students competed in the regional National History Day competition. Congratulations to the following students, whose National History Day projects will be moving on to the state NHD competition in April: Megumi Okamoto, Katie Ng, and Matthew Ng.

High School Accreditation 2022-23

Woodinville High School is participating in the Washington State Accreditation process this 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 excited about the process and showing off what a great school we have!
