Fort Washakie High School [FWHS] and the Wyoming e-academy of Virtual Education [WeAVE] provides high quality online learning options for students, teachers, school districts, and others involved in education for Wyoming Students.
FWHS/WeAVE provides educational resources for the purpose of assisting in the areas where additional, innovative or specialized educational needs exist. FWHS/WeAVE achieves this at both the local school district and state level either through direct enrollment or tuition based participation.
FWHS/WeAVE is not intended to directly compete with the current education infrastructure in the state of Wyoming but is designed to help meet areas of non-typical or unique educational need.
The State of Wyoming provides Hathaway Merit and Need Scholarships to Wyoming students attending the University of Wyoming and Wyoming community colleges. Every Wyoming student who meets the merit requirements can earn a Hathaway Merit Scholarship. FWHS/WeAVE provides courses that meet Merit Scholarship requirements.
Fort Washakie High School is fully accredited by the NCA and CITA.
FWCHS has met the Academic Indicator for AYP (Annual Yearly Progress) every year for the past 5 years. However, FWCHS did not make meet the Secondary School Additional Indicator for AYP (graduation rate) for two consecutive years now (School Year 06-07 and School Year 07-08). Because of this, we're required to notify and inform all FWCHS and WeAVE students and parents that we are in School Improvement Year 1 status. One of the consequences for School Improvement Year 1 is the option of Public School Choice. This allows for parents to choose to send their student to another school in our district or surrounding district that made AYP. Although this is an option, FWCHS is the only High School within our district and there are no schools in our district or surrounding districts that made AYP to which to send your students, so Public School Choice is unfortunately not an option at this time. For information regarding the other consequences for School Improvement Year I and more detail on the reason FWCHS did not meet AYP, please review the attached letter.
