In Oregon we tell our children,
"Follow your dreams."

take flight.

Willamette Promise gives high school students the opportunity to earn college credits (up to a whole year of college before high school graduation) and complete career and technical courses (including certifications) before high school graduation.Willamette Promise works hard to assist partner schools in establishing a college and career going culture.

- The number of students earning college credit increased by 202%, from 608 to 1819.

Welcome to the Willamette Promise
The Willamette Promise is a program coordinated through the Willamette Education Service District to provide local schools support in reaching our state’s education goals. This program will support those goals by increasing student’s chances for degree attainment by completing college courses while still in high school. It will also greatly expand the opportunities for students to complete Career and Technical Education courses leading to industry certification and careers. Another major advantage to the Willamette Promise is that these opportunities for students will come at a significant cost savings for families.Students
