Who We Are
5 years ago
Weed High School received a six year accreditation from the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) in 2012.
Weed High School has incorporated a one to one computer to student ratio. All students are given a chromebook that they use during their high school career. Students are learning to use the computer as a tool to access curriculum and teacher developed assignments and projects. Part of this experience teaches research, collaboration, and communication skills that will be necessary for their future college and career choices.
Weed High School also provides all students with college and career exploratory experiences during each of their high school years. The following is an outline of these experiences:
Freshman: Interest inventories, future college and career exploration, Develop College and Career Plan, College visit
Sophomore: Continue College and Career Plan, College visit, Job Shadow experience
Junior: Continue College and Career Plan, College and Career tour, Interview Fair
Senior: Continue College and Career Plan, Senior Project, College and Career application and placement
