Program Overview
The Waskowitz Environmental Leadership and Service (WELS) program of Puget Sound High School is designed as an innovative program for high school graduation for students who have experienced indicators of educational failures identified by the HPS On-Track tool or want a safe and nurturing school environment for academic success.
Counselors and family members recommend students for inclusion in the program. Students complete an application and interview to ensure students have the attitude and aptitude to be a leader in our 6th grade residential outdoor environmental education program (ROEE) at Waskowitz.
We are a Career and Technical Education (CTE) rich program providing multiple 21st-century skills learning opportunities and skills for jobs in the outdoor recreation/education and marine tech fields.
