 This accomplishment and impressive growth has been made
possible in part by the support of our fantastic Estacada

community. Our graduation rate has been positively impacted by
the advancing partnerships between the school district and the

community at large. Thank you for your continued support of our
students. This achievement has also been a K-12 effort, and has
