All After-School Activities Canceled - Due to worsening road conditions and ongoing safety concerns caused by unpredictable weather, all after-school activities have been canceled for today. This includes the band and choir winter concert, which will be rescheduled for a later date. Our primary focus is on safely transporting students home and ensuring student drivers are off the roads. Additionally, this cancellation allows our maintenance team the time needed to clear today’s storm impacts and prepare school parking lots for tomorrow’s planned opening without parked vehicles. Safety remains our top priority, and we deeply appreciate your understanding, flexibility, and support. Please stay safe and warm!
Wrestling Meet Cancellation and Continued Weather Monitoring:
Due to highly unpredictable weather—including continued snow, freezing rain, and pass closures—we are prioritizing safety. The wrestling league meet scheduled for today in Goldendale has been canceled. This early decision was necessary as the team was set to depart at 1:30 PM.
For this afternoon and evening events, we are closely monitoring weather conditions as the extended forecast remains challenging. An additional update will be provided by 2:00 PM regarding today’s after-school activities (sports, clubs), including the band and choir winter concert.
We know these decisions are difficult and impact everyone involved, but the safety of our staff, students, and student drivers remains our top priority. Thank you for your understanding and continued support.
Weather Update for After-School Activities - We are closely monitoring weather conditions and will make a decision by 2:00 PM today regarding whether the band and choir winter concert, as well as athletics and other after-school activities, will be canceled.

Today we had our On-The-Spot-Admission event for CWU. Seniors with a GPA of 2.0 or higher were able to apply to CWU for free. Those that have a 2.5 were admitted on the spot and offered a scholarship that ranged from $1500-$3000 to use for tuition. So proud of our Warriors and future CWU Wildcats... oh, and Mr. Berk who had to get in on the action!
