CHELAN COUNTY JUVENILE DETENTION CENTER

Chelan County Juvenile Detention Center is a public school that is part of the Wenatchee School District school district, located in WENATCHEE, WA with about 6 students offering grade levels from 3rd Grade to 12th Grade.

The Chelan County Juvenile Detention Center, located in Wenatchee, Washington, serves as a secure, short-term holding facility for youth who have been apprehended by law enforcement or remanded by the court. Its primary mission is to provide a safe, structured, and supervised environment for juveniles awaiting adjudication or sentencing, while ensuring the safety of both the residents and the surrounding community.

Because the facility functions within a correctional framework, it prioritizes security, accountability, and the basic welfare of its residents. While incarcerated, youth have access to essential services, including educational programming—often provided in collaboration with local school districts to ensure that academic progress is not completely interrupted—as well as opportunities for counseling, health assessments, and recreation. The center operates under strict legal guidelines, focusing on balancing the rehabilitative needs of the youth with the requirements of the juvenile justice system.
