Klickitat School District Calendar 2026-2027

A single K–12 campus carries Klickitat’s public-school system in the Columbia River Gorge. The campus is a common meeting place for children from the town and the rural area around it. Younger students learn within an elementary setting, while older students move into subject courses, high-school credits, athletics and graduation planning under the same roof. School events often bring several age groups and generations of the community together.

Because every grade shares one campus, a local project can quickly become part of school life across several age groups. In January 2026, the district published initial plans to revive its greenhouse as a hydroponic learning space tied to science, agriculture, sustainability and school nutrition. The initiative was still at an early planning stage and had not yet become an established course. Arts, athletics and community events already give younger students regular contact with the secondary side of the school.

The board-approved 2026–27 calendar adds an unusual change to that continuity. Klickitat begins the year on a five-day schedule, then shifts to four longer instructional days on January 19, 2027. The district studied the idea before approving the split calendar; the second-semester change is now part of the adopted school year. Childcare, transportation, activities and household routines will all adjust midway through the year, while the school, grade organization and K–12 community remain in place.
