About Us Overview
The Battle Ground School District in northeast Clark County,
Washington, has 19 schools spread over 273 square miles. It stretches
from the lowlands of suburban Vancouver on the west, near the confluence
of Interstate 5 and Interstate 205, to the Cascade Mountains at the
Clark-Skamania county line on the east. Volcanic Mount St. Helens, which
erupted with a vengeance in 1980 and looms above the Southwest
Washington landscape, is just 10 miles outside of the district’s
northeast boundary.
The district celebrated its Centennial in
2009-2010. A hundred years earlier, during the presidency of William
Howard Taft, two one-school districts – Maple Grove and Dublin – merged
and consolidated into what is today the Battle Ground district. During
the first six and a half decades, 54 small, rural districts were folded
into it, the last one – Yacolt -- in 1975. Today, Battle Ground Public
Schools serve approximately 13,000 students.
