Enterprise High School highlights outreach, solidarity, and academic achievement

ENTERPRISE – The Enterprise High School has been staying busy lately with academic achievements, community involvement, and post-tragedy solidarity. 

According to Superintendent of Enterprise Dan Wold, the High School was recently named an Outstanding High School by U.S. News & World Reports, ranking #15 out of Oregon’s 340 ranked high schools. This puts the school in the top 5% statewide. As written by Wold in a recent correspondence:

“This shows what can happen when strong families work together with a high-quality staff towards positive student outcomes. Pictured are senior leaders Malakai Powers and Emrys Hobbs accepting the banner from superintendent Dan Wold on behalf of the student body.”

Beyond pure academic achievement, senior leadership students from Enterprise High School have also been making the trek to Wallowa County’s smallest and most remote learning center. The students recently volunteered to visit the single-room five-student school in Troy, located in Northeast Wallowa County along the Grande Ronde River. 

Seniors Savanna Rynearson, Hazyl Storlie, Emrys Hobbs and Malakai Powers taught various lessons to the local students, including reading, math, art, and PE. Wold reports the event was “huge success,” and may be made into a monthly trip. The five troy students may also one day attend Enterprise High school.

Lastly for updates out of Enterprise, the school district, like many others across Eastern Oregon, has been showing solidarity with Silver Rail Elementary School in Bend following the recent tragedy. Pictured in the collection above is Senior Jacob Journigan holding the flag in a show of support.
