Our student body, which stayed at about 150 for many years, has grown to nearly 270. Along with the growth came a change in characteristics such as mobility rate, socio-economic status, and English as a Second Language population. In the fall of 1998 we opened the school with a beautiful new addition including six new classrooms, an expanded cafeteria, covered play area, a new library and technology lab. The staff at Josephine Wascher enjoy the many talents and the enthusiasm of the children. Concerted efforts and high expectations have resulted in students showing dramatic increases in state test scores.
Support programs are in place to lend additional help to students with special needs.
A dedicated Parent Teacher Club contributes to the success of the school through volunteer services and fund raising. In short, Josephine Wascher is a terrific place to work and to learn. Come visit us through this Website or enjoy a drive to this beautiful section of Oregon.
