Principal's Message

Dear Sedro-Woolley High School students and parents,

Welcome to Week 8 of our 2026-2027 School Year! We are just two 1/2 weeks away from the end of our 1st Quarter--students, you have been working hard to get your grades to the highest possible--KEEP GOING STRONG! At Parent/Teacher Conferences, Monday Nov. 9th, we will have our Quarter 1 Grade Reports ready to provide each student and family.

We are a participating high school for WAGAP (Washington Guaranteed Admissions Program)! For all our students, but especially our Juniors and Seniors, if you maintain a 3.0 G.P.A. and take courses which align for a 4 year-University admittance, you are GUARANTEED admittance for participating Universities (Western Washington, Central Washington, Eastern Washington, Washington State, Evergreen State College, and University of Washington, Tacoma) This is a fantastic opportunity for our students.
