In 2003 the school closed due to lack of funding for building renovations and improvements.

The old building was later purchased by The Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde for $675,000.

A new Willamina High School was eventually built in 2015.

Of 84 students, 60 graduated, 17 dropped out, 1 received a modified diploma, and 6 were still in high school.
