White Salmon Valley School District - White Salmon Washington EXPLORE!

The White Salmon Valley School District is a small, consolidated district in Southwest Washington state, serving students from the cities of White Salmon and Bingen, and the outlying areas of Husum, Underwood and Snowden. Approximately 1100 students are served by

Whitson Elementary School (grades K-3)
Wallace and Priscilla Stevenson Intermediate School (4-6)
Henkle Middle School (7-8)
Columbia High School (9-12) and
White Salmon Academy, our alternative school.

The district is financially sound and has an annual budget of $12.6 million. The district benefits from many of the programs offered by ESD #112, which serves districts in Southwest Washington. It is also involved in many state and federal grants including Title I, Title II, Migrant, Learning Assistance, Career and Technical Education, Beginning Teacher Assistance, Bilingual, Math and Science, and Gifted programs.

The community has a history of strong support for schools, regularly approving two-year maintenance and operation levies, and involving itself in many ways through classroom and school-based events. Additionally, in 2006 a nonprofit education foundation, the White Salmon Valley Education Foundation, was formed to bring curriculum enhancing programs to all our schools.
