Whatcom Intergenerational High School
Whatcom Intergenerational High School (WIHS) was authorized by the Washington State Charter Commission on May 30th 2019. WIHS will be an innovative public charter school in Whatcom County. Due to CoVid19, we plan to open our doors for seventy-five 9th graders in August 2021. We will serve a culturally diverse community, eventually enrolling 320 students in grades 9-12 with elders and Traditional Providers (knowledge keepers who have a background in their own cultural history, governance, and language), supporting academic, social, emotional, physical and spiritual learning.
Our co-partner Whiteswan Environmental (WE) will help us ensure that our next generation of graduates have the competencies and agency to bring cultural, historical and ecological health perspectives to their communities and careers.
