La Grande High School is a public high school in the western United States, located in La Grande, Oregon.
In 2008, 81% of the school's seniors received a high school diploma. Of 197 students, 159 graduated, 29 dropped out, and nine were still in high school in 2009.[4][5]
Jadin Bell, a 15-year-old student and member of the school's cheerleading squad, committed suicide in early 2013 after a period of intense bullying by other students.[6] There are indications of failure on the part of local authorities to effectively address the bullying.[7] The story, and that of Bell's legacy, was made into a movie featuring Mark Wahlberg.
