The WODHS Columbia Basin Classroom is located on the Columbia Basin Job Corps site in Moses Lake, WA.

Each student who arrives at WODHS Columbia Basin Classroom will have begun an Individual Career Pathway Plan with Job Corps admissions staff. This plan describes the student’s realistic and attainable academic, career, and personal goals. Job Corps staff will meet with the SEA staff to determine if the student will be enrolled in the High School diploma track or the GED track. Students are provided with an orientation and enrolled in the Student Engagement Academy.

The student’s first Case Management meeting will take place with both their Case Manager and the certified teacher, if they are special ed, the special education instructor will meet with them as well. They will work to help each student take their long term goals of GED or High School diploma and create an individual High School and Beyond Plan (this can also be their transition plan for those students in Sped) to ensure they are on track to meet their goals based on their specific background and situation. The Case Manager will remain in contact with the student monthly to provide support as needed. They will continue to meet with the Case Manager and SEA team every 1-3 months to adjust and update their plan as needed.
