Teaching Staff

The teaching staff is composed of Christian adults. No degree is required. The Christian adults tend to be parents of students at the high school. Many of the teachers should think about taking teaching classes. The best teachers have degrees in what they teach and are over-qualified for their positions.

Sports

Football, Boys and Girls Tennis, Girls Volleyball (went to State in 2009), Cross Country (recently, Girls 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010 State Champions, Division 2B; Boys 2006 3rd, 2007 2nd in State, 2008 and 2009 State Champions, 2010 3rd, Division 2B; no respect given in the school), Track and Field (Girls 2007 1st and 2008 2nd in State, Division 2B), Boys and Girls Basketball (boys went to State in 2008, girls went to State in 2010), Baseball (2008 4th in State, 2009 State Champions, Division 2B), Fastpitch, Golf, "Powerlifting" (not a real sport. more of a club or a group that gets together).

Cross country

The Women's Cross Country team has had 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, and 2010 State Championships, the first team in Washington state history to win six consecutive state wins in a row, with many league and district championships as well. On the Men's side, they have placed 3rd in 2006, 2nd in 2007, and 1st in both 2008 and 2009 in division 2B. In 2010, they got 3rd. In 2009, the Men ran fast enough times to place in division 1A and 2A. Cross Country was coached by Bill Kehoe. Bill Kehoe had won multiple coach of the year awards for his work with the women's team before retiring in the summer before the 2010 season. The 2010 season was co-coached by Larry Weber and Mike Michael. The 2010 season ended in disappointment. The 2011 season was coached by Larry Weber.

Football

The football team is amazing and is led by all-star quarterback Tyler Lebien. They have an unundefeated season and are going for a perfect no-win record. They are looking ahead for a good future.
