Entiat School District Calendar 2026-2027

Where the Entiat River meets the Columbia north of Wenatchee, one compact campus serves families living along the river and farther up a long mountain corridor. The district acknowledges that its schools stand on the traditional lands of the p’squosa, or Wenatchi people, including the Entiat band. Paul Rumburg Elementary and Entiat Middle/High School share the site, so students remain in one local center while moving into secondary courses, athletics and graduation planning.

Geography is part of daily school operations. Winter weather, fallen trees and rocks can affect bus routes, and transportation staff rely on detailed knowledge of the roads to keep the district accessible. The river, lake and mountain setting also supports science, recreation and community activity. Performances, athletics and family organizations give residents common reasons to gather at the school.

Regional cooperation helps Entiat students reach career courses that one small secondary staff could not provide alone. Local instruction, dual-credit opportunities and shared programs connect students with technical fields and postsecondary study while preserving their place in the Entiat community. Students receive a continuous local education shaped by waterways, Indigenous history, long rural routes and partnerships beyond the compact campus.
