Lake Washington School District has a strong and active music program, with classes for everyone from beginners to students with years of experience. These young musicians perform in concerts, festivals, and in the community throughout the year, which prepares them for continuing their musical journeys in high school and beyond.
On March 16, sophomores in English 10 at Lake Washington High School (LWHS) attended a virtual live tour of Auschwitz-Birkenau Concentration Camp.
Lake Washington School District Superintendent Dr. Jon Holmen displayed his fastpitch softball skills last week at Lake Washington High School.
March is National Athletic Training Month. This year’s slogan is “There’s an AT for that.”
Eastlake High School’s (EHS) Indian Student Association (ISA) welcomed all to a celebration of Holi on March 17. By the end of the event, several EHS students could be seen covered in many bright colors.
Lake Washington School District recognizes there are a number of families in need in our community. It can be difficult to know where to turn when you need help. That is why the Homeless Liaison developed a list of community resources to support students, parents and families in our community, whether homeless or not. The list of community resources is organized below by type of services offered. This list is not intended to be complete. If you know of other resources that should be added to the list, please contact Catherine Cruz at 425-936-1469.
In addition, the following agencies will help to match you to other organizations that may be of assistance:
