About the Course Catalog
We are excited about the many courses and activities we have to offer at West Salem High School and look forward to having you on our campus. We are committed to offering a wide variety of classes at all ability levels in order to ensure the success of our students. It is our hope that students and their parents work closely together with their counselor to create a four-year academic plan that meets the needs and interests of each individual student.
If you have questions or would like more information about the registration process and/or specific courses, please call our Counseling Center at 503-399-3780. Students are assigned a counselor based on their last names.
