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 process that began on April 9, 1948.

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. In November 2012, Bethel voters approved a $10 million science wing. [1]
