We are a very active group here in La Pine. With all the wildlife, fresh air and clean pure water, we have much to be thankful for.

    Inside our website you will find the different things we do here in the Life Skills department. We have a few items that we focus on that generate monies for our program as we try to become self sustaining. Please feel free to come by, call or email to even just to say hi.

    A frequently asked question is “what is Lifeskills”?  Lifeskill’s class is a program for students with moderate to severe disabilities.  La Pine High School’s Lifeskill’s program focuses on vocational skills, community skills and any skill students may need to live as independently as possible and make a positive contribution to the community. 

    As you go through the website you will see we are a very busy group between our on campus and off campus work and activities.

    We are fortunate and thankful to live, work, and go to school in such supportive community as La Pine and the greater Central Oregon Community.   Several businesses, organizations, and individuals from Redmond, Tumalo, Bend, Sunriver,and Gilchrist have provided valuable vocational opportunities, community experiences, and support for our students.

    We hope you enjoy the site, check for updates, and please contact us at anytime!
