Washington Union High School

The school district encompasses roughly 90 square miles in the heart of the central San Joaquin Valley.

[1] The mascot for Washington Union is the Panthers, with school colors being purple, white, grey, and black.

In November 2012, voters in the Washington Unified School district were asked to vote on "Measure W." The bond passed with almost 73 percent.

MEASURE W: "To better prepare Washington Union High School students for college and quality jobs, shall Washington Unified School District upgrade technology in classrooms, job-training labs, and student- support facilities; modernize science labs; rehabilitate deteriorated roofs, plumbing, electrical, lighting, ventilation; improve safety; and acquire/construct/repair instructional and athletic sites, facilities and equipment; by issuing $22,000,000 in bonds at legal interest rates, with independent citizen oversight, no administrators' salaries, and all funds dedicated locally to Washington Union High School?"

[4] Washington Union went 119-50 (.704) with one losing season in Freitas's 14 years at the school, including additional section titles in 1999 and 2010.

Washington Union was also home to Decovan Sconiers, a 2003-04 Male Athlete of the Year recipient.

In 2004 Sconiers helped bring home Washington Union's 10th Sierra-Sequoia valley championship in wrestling.

This victory paved the way for future small-school wrestlers to become Central Valley and California state champions.
