The WLWV Foundation Launch Committee is launching a West Linn-Wilsonville School Foundation to directly fund educator positions in the coming years.

We are seeking applicants who are interested in joining our Board of Directors (roles and responsibilities). If you're interested in joining the board of the new foundation, please fill out our interest form HERE.

If you are interested in pledging financial support for the foundation once the foundation begins to accept donations, please do so HERE.

Together, we can make a meaningful impact!

We are able to offer funded trips in partnership with the Chinese Education Consulate YES scholarship program!

The Oregon Department of Education has launched a new annual survey that all students in grades 3-11 will take this school year. The purpose of the SEED survey is to provide the state feedback and input to improve education experiences for all students. Information will help ODE to develop appropriate resources and supports for districts in Oregon, and better target those resources where they are most needed.

Students in grades 3-11 will take the SEED survey before the end of the school year. Parent-guardians can opt their student out of the SEED survey if they wish to do so by filling out the opt out form (English/Spanish) or by contacting the school office.

Thank you for your attention to this update.

West Linn-Wilsonville School District Partners with United We Heal to Launch a Cutting-Edge Behavioral Health Pre-apprenticeship Program

The West Linn-Wilsonville School District is excited to announce a partnership with United We Heal. Students at all three high schools now have an opportunity to apply to the United We Heal Behavioral Health Pre-apprenticeship program. This innovative program is the first of its kind in Oregon, and our district makes up three of the ten schools currently participating. Students are eligible to apply to the United We Heal program their Sophomore or Junior year. If accepted, students receive 36 hours of Career Training and earn 7 free college credits- PSY101 (Human Relations) and PSY125 (Introduction to Development)- while still in high school.

Upon graduation, students receive an industry-recognized certificate, providing a competitive advantage when applying to behavioral health jobs and when applying to the United We Heal Qualified Mental Health Associate (QMHA) and Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CADC) Apprenticeship programs. This “earn while you learn” model offers a no cost alternative pathway for students to pursue a career in behavioral health. After earning QMHA or CADC credentials, apprentices can continue to progress through United We Heal’s Applied Bachelor program, and if desired work toward their Master’s degree to become a Qualified Mental Health Professional (QMHP), with costs covered by United We Heal. They then can work toward licensure to be a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC).

Even if a student does not want to continue with United We Heal after high school graduation, earning college credits in high school saves time and money and looks impressive on scholarship and job applications. Several students have already applied to the pre-apprenticeship program with one stating they applied because "I think that this program will allow me to gain the skills needed if anyone around me ever needs help, and I think that is something valuable to have/know how to do. I am passionate about helping others and I truly enjoy psychology, and learning about ways to help in today's society. Behavioral health has always been something that interests me."

If interested in learning more please visit the United We Heal website or talk with your HS Counselor.
