It serves grades 10-12 and operates in one large room, allowing the staff to observe all the students who are grouped into cohorts.

Students typically arrive at Kalapuya severely credit deficient, having not been successful in a traditional high school setting.

But the small cohorts and individualized attention, engaging programs, required professional internships and college credit courses, and devoted staff have helped more KHS students graduate with a high school diploma.

Principal Stefan Aumack proposed the development of the Bethel Farm on open and unused land between Kalapuya and Prairie Mountain School.

Taking advantage of the Farm's existing well, EWEB has installed a larger pump that will be supplemented with a back-up generator in case of an electric outage.
