La Grande School District staff is proud to serve over 2,350 students and
their families. LGSD embraces the idea that students are best served in
schools close to where they live. Central, Greenwood and Island City
Elementary schools provide this opportunity for K-5 students and
families. La Grande Middle School meets core instructional needs of
students and starts extending learning beyond the classroom by providing
outdoor school, art, career and technical education, choir, band, computer
science and competitive athletic programs. La Grande High School is a
comprehensive high school that extends the programs listed above and
provides students an opportunity to pursue their passion(s) and start
their path to post-secondary education, trade school, the military and
the workforce. The committed staff of over 300 employees is focused on
student excellence in and out of the classroom.
La Grande School District is committed to the safety and caring of
students. Its focus is on social and emotional needs as well as emphasizing
strong academic programs. The district’s effective communication and
collaborative partnerships are essential. These partnerships help provide
quality training and experiences for students, parents and the community.
This multi-year strategic plan was designed to allow students to reach
their individual potential, the staff to thrive and the greater La Grande
community to prosper.
