Education

students at graduation

William P. Lord High School is a fully accredited high school providing youth with access and opportunity to complete their diploma, GED, and/or vocational preparation while at MacLaren. Every youth at MacLaren Youth Correctional Facility who has not completed a high school diploma or equivalency attends school 5 days a week, 12 months a year. Lord is staffed in collaboration with teachers, educational specialists, and administration from Willamette Education Service District.

In addition to high school courses, Lord serves youth working through middle school classes and supports youth working toward their GED. Lord has a comprehensive CTE program in the Industrial Arts and houses the College Center and Barbering program within its campus.


 Lord High School staff believes that education is essential to reducing recidivism and increasing independence and success for the youth we serve. We teach content and impart knowledge, but our core beliefs and values - in the power of Respect, Relationships, Resilience, Responsibility, Recognition, and Repair - is how we build, and hopefully sustain, a culture of learning here and beyond our walls.
