Our Community…

Mount Adams School District sits in the heart of Yakama Nation country, surrounded by agriculture, rivers, and mountains.

White Swan and the surrounding communities are known for their close-knit spirit, family engagement, athletics pride (especially basketball), and cultural vitality.

Community members describe Mt. Adams as a place of resilience, connection, and hope – where staff and students know one another by name and everyone comes together to support success.

The district is recognized statewide for its leadership in Impact Aid advocacy, its commitment to cultural preservation, and its collaborative partnerships with tribal leaders, families, and regional agencies.

White Swan is a peaceful rural community, conveniently located one hour from Yakima and two hours from the Tri-Cities

Our School District…

The Mount Adams School District serves approximately 800 students from White Swan, Harrah, and surrounding areas of the Yakama Reservation.

The community is a place of deep family ties, cultural richness, and resilience. The district proudly serves a diverse student body – approximately 53% Native American and 39% Latino – and places high value on maintaining strong partnerships with the Yakama Nation and local families.

Mt. Adams students benefit from small class sizes, caring staff, and a focus on relationships and connection. Recently, two of the district schools have received awards from the SBE and OSPI for closing opportunity gaps and advancing student achievement.

The district is financially stable, operates with a strong fund balance, and continues to strengthen facilities – including an ongoing high school remodel to expand access and safety.
