About Us
Morrow Education Center (MEC) is located in Irrigon, Oregon and serves as the home for the District's Virtual and Alternative school. On average MEC provides an educational opportunity for 60 students grades Kindergarten through twelve. As is true for all Morrow County schools, MEC serves a diverse population. Students attending MEC are admitted on a referral system supported by their community building.
Morrow Education Center recognizes the importance of alternative educational opportunities within the educational community. Therefore, we work extremely hard to provide students with comprehensive learning experiences using state-of-the-art computer technology and methodology. We have also expanded our educational opportunities to include school at home (similar to traditional home school) and GED options as well.
The staff at MEC are extremely nurturing, dedicated and demanding. Our vision is to prepare our student body with the necessary academic and behavioral tools to insure continued student success whether they return to the traditional school setting or graduate from MEC with a diploma.
Our school mascot is the Phoenix, representing a new beginning for many of our students as we help them redefine their learning path. "Our greatest achievement is not in never failing, but in rising every time we fail".
