This year, WMHS would like to make a paper memorial wall of veterans. Please reply to this email or send the following to Mrs. Rauch by November 9:

The Athena-Weston School District is looking for parents and community members to help shape the future of career and technical education at Weston-McEwen High School! 

The Design Advisory Committee will review design concepts, share community perspectives, and make recommendations that will help guide the new building design.

We are especially interested in hearing from individuals with experience in agriculture, manufacturing, welding, construction, healthcare, and forestry.

The committee will meet approximately six times between November 2026 and spring 2027.

Interested in helping shape the future of our students and community? Contact Weston-McEwen High School Principal Morgan Rauch at morgan.rauch@athwestsd.org by November 9.

Find out more about the different Bond Committees here...

Does your student need uninterrupted time to catch back up in their classes? WMHS is open from 8 am - 12 pm on Monday and Tuesday of break for targeted academic support. Let the front office know if your student plans to attend one or both days.

The Weston-McEwen High School Hall of Fame recognizes graduates, athletic teams, coaches, and faculty members of Athena High School, Weston High School, McEwen High School and Weston-McEwen High School who have achieved and demonstrated high levels of success in their post high school careers. Find the qualifications here. Nominations are being accepted until December 1, for the next inductee class.

Academic support is available from 1:00 - 3:00 pm for students with failing grades, those needing makeup testing or work time, or SAT/ACT test prep. Students on the SOS list are expected to attend. Busing is available at both 1:15 pm and 3:00 pm. Teacher office hours are scheduled for 1:00 - 1:30 pm for student support on Fridays.

If your student is planning on staying, they must sign up at the front office by Wednesday to ensure busing and staffing requirements are met.

College Possible Oregon’s Navigate program provides high school juniors and seniors from rural communities with free, personalized college coaching from a dedicated Advising Specialist. Students receive one-on-one support to explore their options, find colleges that are a good fit, apply for college and financial aid, make a plan for their future, and prepare for success after high school, and the support does not end after high school. Students receive 6+ years of free support through college graduation.

Applications for the 2026–27 school year are OPEN! We’re currently recruiting high school juniors and seniors. Ready to learn more? Sign up today: https://collegepossible.tfaforms.net/115. We’ll reach out with more information!

If your student is of indigenous descent or you are interested in learning more about the program, check out CTUIR's newsletter.

Oregon invests $6.4 million in hands-on career learning for students at 51 schools (and we are one of them!)

Grades are pulled on Mondays at 3:30 pm. Students with one or more F grade have until Friday at 3:30 pm to turn in any late work. Students are encouraged to attend academic support on Friday and teacher office hours. When the next list is pulled the following Monday, if the student has an F (in any class) they are ineligible for extracurricular and ASB activities until the subsequent Monday.

Hour-long lunch usually happens one time per month and is an earned privilege. Students qualify by being in good standing - C grades and above, no outstanding detentions, and attendance are all taken into account.

Please refrain from calling to excuse your student for hour-long lunch when they haven't earned it - that defeats the purpose of the incentive!

We are excited to host and participate in the Tribal Dance Demonstration in the district on November 17. We will be welcoming Fred Hill and the Nixya'awii Community School drummers.

We will be participating in the Wildhorse Christmas Bazaar on November 28 for both gift wrapping and craft sales. Come visit our booth!

We will be performing at the OSBA conference (Oregon School Board Association) in Portland where we have been selected to open Friday's conference! This is a great opportunity and honor for our students to be able to play, as numerous other groups put in for this opportunity and very few get the chance to perform. We will be performing at 9:00 am on Friday, November 13th.

We have kicked off our beginning Pipes & Drums program. The class will be held in the High school band room from 6-7:30 pm on Mondays. This class is available for everyone no matter the skill level.

Our local chapter has chosen the following mission statement for their grant awards program this year: 

The Weston McEwen High School Schnitzer Care group will be granting money to organizations that support addiction services for youth in Umatilla County; however, we are also willing to consider applications from other areas of Eastern Oregon.  We believe many youths in our community are affected by the prevalence of drugs, alcohol and other harmful substances; our mission is to help provide grant money to organizations that are committed to supporting youth addiction services primarily because we are a rural area with few resources.  We will focus on programming that helps young people to maintain their addiction-free status and avoid relapsing.

Home games are streamed on Hudl. Please click here to see pricing, or register today at
