Richland High School sophomore Zoe Gotthold and Hanford High School freshman Nikhita Bontha are award-winning international scientists after presenting their work at the recent Intel International Science & Engineering Fair (ISEF) in Phoenix.

We are thrilled to announce that Jason Lee, Lewis & Clark, and White Bluffs elementary schools are being recognized by state education officials for closing achievement gaps and helping students grow and be ready for their futures. 

Meet your 2019 Washington State Outstanding Young Educator, science teacher Jessica Saddler at Leona Libby Middle School.

Whether engaging students in her classroom, taking on staff leadership roles or building bonds between the school and community, Ms. Saddler is making waves. That's pretty impressive for a teacher with three years of teaching under her belt.

“Jessica is an example of an ideal educator, someone committed to every aspect of making a school a place of growth for students, staff and the community as a whole,” says Principal Andre Hargunani.

They guide our students in the classroom, help them find the perfect book and are there for them when they are hurt or need someone to talk to.

Our certificated staff—teachers, nurses, counselors, psychologists, librarians and others—are always there for our students. May 6-10 is Certificated Staff Appreciation Week. Join us in thanking them for everything they do to make our schools great.

See how STEP (Student Transition Experience Partnership), a program between Richland High School and Goodwill Industries, is providing students receiving special education services with job training and other skills so they can be successful after graduation.

Read a letter from Superintendent Dr Rick Schulte on an update on the 2019-20 budget and upcoming Richland School Board meetings.

Richland-based Fowler General Construction will build the new Tapteal Elementary, with construction beginning this summer.

The Richland School Board recently awarded the bid for the project to Fowler after the company provided the lowest bid at $19,944,500. That bid was more than $500,000 less than initial cost estimates for the project.
