North Clackamas County — Clackamas, Milwaukie

http://www.nclack.k12.or.us/

North Clackamas County is located southeast of metro Portland and includes the communities of Clackamas, Milwaukie, and Happy Valley.  Helping students to succeed “Toward a New Excellence” is the motto, reflecting the challenges presented to many, by the rapidly growing communities. Once considered more rural, now new construction of larger family homes has drawn in families seeking affordable newer neighborhoods. The motto honors the past in a community that has taken great pride in its schools and for a district that had already experienced success and recognition for its efforts. It challenges our present practices and whether they are working for the benefit of students and the community. Also, it holds a vision for the future helping us strive for quality, consistency, and equity, the three strongest themes we heard from our community.
