Wahluke Junior High

Mattawa is a small, tight-knit agricultural community in the Columbia Basin, where families tend to know each other well and the school is very much the center of community life. Wahluke Junior High serves a predominantly Latino student population in a rural area where many families work in the region's orchards and vineyards, and the school reflects the resilience and close connections that define this part of Grant County. Families who value a strong sense of community and want their kids in a smaller, more personal school environment — rather than a large suburban campus — will find that Wahluke has a dedicated staff working hard for its students.
