The White Salmon Valley School District is a small, consolidated district serving students from the towns 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-4), Henkle Middle School (5-8), Columbia High School (9-12) and the alternative school, White Salmon Academy.
The district is financially sound and has an annual budget of $11.423 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.
