Fall 2015
A History of Caring, Quality, and Growth
Our Mission
The mission of the Camas School District is to provide students with the ability to communicate effectively, use technology, reason, be self-confident, possess mental and physical health, and work effectively with others.
In broader terms, our mission is to create a learning community where staff, students, and citizens are involved jointly in the advancement of knowledge and personal growth.
The State of Camas Schools STRONG!
Results of survey completed by CFM Research in the fall of 2015 84% of respondents gave the CSD a grade of an A or B for
overall performance
The highest grades CFM has found for a school district in history!
Growth in Student Enrollment
76% who moved to the Camas School District during the past 10 years said quality schools influenced their decision
The last ten years: over a 1,600 increase in student enrollment
2005-06: 5,238 students
2015-16: 6,843 students
