MEWA Weekly Announcements and Principal's Message


The Metro East Web Academy provides a technology-rich 21st century learning model that ensures student success in a rapidly evolving learning, work, and community environment. 

Dear Parents and Students:  

As graduation is upon us, it is important to note that our school gives away two scholarships each year: The Mike Harris and Tim Drilling Founders Scholarship for $1,000 and the Keller-Sievers Scholarship Award for $500.  These two scholarships are self-funded by MEWA, outside donors, and MEWA employees.  In an effort to help us raise the funds this year, we are asking for $10 donations. This donation will enter you in a drawing and the lucky person whose name is drawn will get to go to lunch with Dr. Gray at a restaurant of the winner's choosing in the Gresham area.  Please come and donate $10 to have your name entered in the drawing.
