History and Geography of the district

The Battle Ground School District in northeast Clark County, Washington, has 19 schools spread over 273 square miles. That's  40 percent of Clark County. But the district is still just the 89th largest in the state in terms of area. (Photo shot in June 2011 a few miles outside Yacolt.)

The district 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 more than 13,000 students.
