Willamette High School

Willamette High School, or "Wil-Hi", is located in the Bethel-Danebo area of west Eugene, Oregon, United States. It is one of two high schools in the Bethel School District along with Kalapuya High School. History Willamette High School first opened to students on September 26, 1949. The opening of Bethel School District's only comprehensive high school was the culmination of a process that began on April 9, 1948. On this date, the rural Lane County, Oregon communities of Bethel, Clear Lake, Danebo and Irving passed a measure to consolidate and build the high school. A 50-acre (200,000 m2) school site was purchased on May 17, 1948. Funding was provided by bond levies passed on May 11, 1948, and October 20, 1948. Willamette was an early candidate for interior filming location in Grease. In November 2012, Bethel voters approved a $10 million science wing. In 2022 a new $3 million CTE building was approved for classes like graphic design, photography and kitchen type classes to take place. Academics In 2008, 79% of the school's seniors received a high school diploma. Of 316 students, 251 graduated, 37 dropped out, five received a modified diploma, and 23 were still in high school in 2009. In 2022, 88% of the school's seniors had a high school diploma. Out of 359 students, 319 graduated, and 40 dropped out. In 2025, Willamette High School increased its graduation rate from 89.9% to 91.6%, which was the highest graduation record yet.

Willamette National Cemetery

Willamette National Cemetery is a United States National Cemetery in Portland, Oregon located about 10 miles (16 km) southeast of downtown. Administered by the United States Department of Veterans Affairs, it encompasses 269.4 acres (109.0 ha) straddling the county line between Multnomah and Clackamas Counties. As of 2021, there had been 188,000 interments. It is one of three national cemeteries in Oregon (the other two being Roseburg and Eagle Point). On July 5, 2016, the cemetery was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The cemetery is built on top of a wide Boring Lava Field cone. History Plans to create a military cemetery in the Portland area started as early as 1941, and Franklin D. Roosevelt signed a bill to establish a national cemetery, but the necessary money to acquire the land was never allocated. Finally, in 1949 the state of Oregon donated 102 acres (41 ha) of land for the establishment of a National Cemetery. Construction was completed in 1950, and Willamette National Cemetery was officially opened on December 14 that year. The first interment did not take place until 1951. In 1952, another 100 acres (40 ha) of land were donated to the cemetery. Willamette National Cemetery is a Blue Star Memorial Highway site. Notable monuments A Korean War Memorial, dedicated to the 283 people from Oregon who fought and died in that war. Notable interments Medal of Honor recipients Lieutenant Colonel Stanley T.

Willamette Park

Willamette Park is a city park of about 26 acres (11 ha) in south Portland, in the U.S. state of Oregon. Located at Southwest Macadam Avenue and Nebraska Street, the park includes a boat dock and ramp, paved and unpaved paths, picnic areas, restrooms, a dog off-leash area, playground, soccer field, and tennis courts. Description and history The northern part of Willamette Park was formerly the site of the Portland Shipbuilding Company, which the City of Portland purchased in 1969 in order to expand the park. Bordering the Willamette River, Willamette Park offers views of Ross Island and its companions, Hardtack, East, and Toe. The Willamette Greenway Trail, part of Portland's 40-Mile Loop, passes north–south through the park, linking it to downtown Portland on the north and Miles Place, Butterfly Park, Stephens Creek, Willamette Moorage Natural Area, the Sellwood Bridge, and Powers Marine Park, all on the south. Oaks Amusement Park and, further south, Sellwood Riverfront Park, are along the east bank, opposite Willamette Park. From the north end of the park, it is possible to see great blue heron and bald eagle nests on Ross Island and the nests of osprey and Canada geese on the tops of transmission towers at Oaks Bottom Wildlife Refuge, beyond the east bank of the river. Purple martins nest in white gourds attached to a pole near the boat ramp. The gourds, which other birds do not like, protect a small number of martins from losing their homes to sparrows and starlings. Other birds seen at the park include gulls, sandpipers, cormorants, kingfishers, and swallows. Beavers frequent the area. A plaque at the south end of the park honors an Oregon white oak, "one of the largest" along the Greenway. As part of the South Portland Riverbanks Projects, the city began removing non-native plants from the south end of Willamette Park in 2006. Volunteers organized by Friends of Trees subsequently replaced them with 250 native trees and shrubs. References External links Reservable picnic sites Park map

William L. Finley National Wildlife Refuge

William L. Finley National Wildlife Refuge is a natural area in the Willamette Valley in Oregon, United States. It was created to provide wintering habitat for dusky Canada geese. Unlike other Canada geese, dusky Canada geese have limited summer and winter ranges. They nest on Alaska's Copper River Delta and winter almost exclusively in the Willamette Valley. Habitat loss, predation, and hunting have caused a decrease in population. Located ten miles south of Corvallis, Oregon, the refuge protects many of the historic habitats of the valley, including the largest remaining tract of native Willamette Valley wet prairie. Fields of wildlife food crops are interspersed with Oregon white oak savannah, meandering creeks with bottomland Oregon ash forest, old growth bigleaf maple, and native prairie. Other management goals are to preserve native species and enhance biodiversity including the rare oak savannah, upland prairie, and wet prairie habitats. Endangered and threatened species such as Oregon chub, and Bradshaw's desert parsley find protection and sanctuary on the refuge. A herd of Roosevelt elk can be found in the bottomland forests or farm fields on the refuge. Under cooperative agreements, area farmers plant refuge fields to produce nutritious grasses preferred by geese. The geese also need water for resting and foraging habitat. Many refuge wetlands occur naturally; others are created by dikes and levees. Some refuge wetlands, drained or channelized by previous owners, are being restored in low-lying areas of the refuge to increase diversity and desirability of habitat for wildlife. The majority of wetlands are being managed as moist soil units, to promote growth of wetland food plants (millet, smartweed, sedges, etc.) used as food by waterfowl and other wildlife. By resting in undisturbed areas on the refuges, wintering geese regain energy reserves required for migration and nesting. This sanctuary reduces depredation problems on neighboring private lands. Of historic interest is the Fiechter House, completed in 1857, and thought to be the oldest house in Benton County. The refuge was named for William L. Finley, an early conservationist who persuaded President Theodore Roosevelt to set aside the first National Wildlife Refuge west of the Mississippi River. Two county roads passing through the refuge are open to the public throughout the year. Similar access is also provided at four viewpoints (kiosks and bulletin boards) and two trails (Woodpecker Loop and Mill Hill). To provide a quiet resting area, waterfowl habitat is closed to public entry while the geese are in residence, from November 1 through March 31. This winter waterfowl closure includes all portions of the refuge except the two trails, kiosks, bulletin boards, and headquarters building.

William P. Lord High School

William P. Lord High School is a public high school in Woodburn, Oregon, United States. It is named after William Paine Lord, the Governor of Oregon from 1895 to 1899. It is located at the MacLaren Youth Correctional Facility, and operates a vocational tech program. Academics In 2008, 1% of the school's seniors received their high school diploma. Of 111 students, 1 graduated, 48 dropped out, 2 received a modified diploma, and 60 were still in high school. Students at William P. Lord High School are in closed custody status for the State of Oregon. They fall into two categories of custody; the Oregon Youth Authority for juvenile offenses and those convicted in adult court and assigned to the Department of Corrections. Youth typically have been school dropouts and a high percentage of them are special education students. The academic goal of the program is to advance the literacy of the youth to that of a high school graduate. Since youths arrive at an average age of 17, with little or no credit, when they do graduate at age 19 to 20, they are considered high school dropouts because they did not complete their studies within the four years from when they started. In 2010, 55 young men received their high school diplomas at Lord High School, yet O.D.E. reported a graduation rate of 1.6%. References
Wilsonville High School

Wilsonville High School (WVHS) is a four-year suburban, public high school in Wilsonville, Oregon, United States and is part of the West Linn-Wilsonville School District. History Wilsonville High School is the first and only high school located in Wilsonville. Prior to its opening in 1995, students residing in the area were required to commute—often by bus—to West Linn in order to attend West Linn High School, or alternatively enroll in high schools in neighboring communities. At the time of its inauguration, the school was informally referred to as "high tech high", a nickname that reflected its emphasis on technological integration. Contemporary reports highlighted the availability of networked computers in classrooms and the provision of internet access to all students—features that were comparatively uncommon in secondary education at the time. Until 2023, the school lacked a dedicated and adequately equipped performing arts facility; its existing auditorium was considered insufficient in both size and technical capacity. Following the approval of a district bond measure in 2019, a substantial expansion project—approximately 30,000 square feet—was undertaken. This development included the construction of a new 600-seat auditorium and a black box theater. Subsequently, the former auditorium space was repurposed to support career and technical education programs. The renovated area now houses facilities such as a wood shop, a robotics laboratory, and additional general-purpose classrooms. Academics In 2016, Wilsonville High School received a silver ranking from U.S. News & World Report, and was ranked 7th in the state. Standardized test scores show Wilsonville above the state average in reading, writing, math and science. In 2024, 95% of the school's seniors received a high school diploma. Of 316 students, 300 graduated, 15 dropped out, and one returned for another year of school. References Adam Guenther, "The Coolest Football Coach Ever", The Oregonian, October 1, 2010.
