Title: |
Superintendent of Schools - Clarkston School District |
| Description: |
Clarkston is located in southeastern Washington at the confluence of the Snake and Clearwater Rivers, 110 miles south of Spokane. It shares a valley with Lewiston, Idaho, the commercial center for the surrounding agricultural area. Known as the Banana Belt because of its mild winters, the Valley offers endless recreational activities including hunting, steelhead fishing, camping, boating and year-round golfing. Ski areas are nearby. Hells Canyon, white water rafting, and wilderness areas draw tourists to the area.
The Valley combines the advantages of small town living with the amenities of an urban area. While enjoying less traffic, a lower cost of living, and access to open spaces, residents can take advantage of cultural events, and educational opportunities available at the four colleges in the region. St. Joseph’s Regional Medical Center and Tri-State Memorial Hospital provide excellent health care. Local shopping options are plentiful.
The district’s 2,700 students are housed in four elementary buildings (K-6); one middle school (grades 7-8); one high school (grades 9-12); and an alternative school. In February, 2010, voters passed a four-year Maintenance and Operations Levy to support our schools.
With a 27 million dollar budget, Clarkston offers a full spectrum of educational opportunities. Clarkston High School boasts state and national award-winning programs in DECA, FCCLA, FFA, JROTC, marching band and science. The Educational Opportunity Center offers an alternative to the traditional program while a K-12 comprehensive counseling program cooperates with community services to insure that the many and varied needs of the students are addressed. Clarkston High School has been recognized twice by the state as School of Distinction for academic growth.
Technology is plentiful in the district. Labs have been updated and every classroom is equipped with a computer, projector and document camera. The community supports its schools with volunteers and fund raising activities. Many local businesses partner with a school and parent groups to actively support activities and to enhance programs.
