Guiding All Students Toward Opportunities Necessary for success

Gaston School District

Established in 1852, the Gaston School District has a long-standing tradition of serving the community with dedication and pride. The district, which covers the city of Gaston and parts of neighboring Yamhill County, includes Gaston Elementary School and Gaston Junior/Senior High School, all located on a single campus in the heart of Gaston.

At R&C Management, we are honored to support a district that prioritizes a comprehensive and inclusive education for all students. With a student population of approximately 483 Gaston School District is committed to providing a nurturing and effective learning environment.

The district’s rich history is marked by significant milestones, from the construction of its first high school in 1916 to recent upgrades and expansions funded by state grants and community bonds. These improvements ensure that Gaston School District continues to offer high-quality education and facilities, preparing students for future success.

Long-Range Facility Planning begins in the Fall of 2024 when key stakeholder groups of faculty, students, and community can provide input and help shape the long-term strategy for the district.
