Centennial School District was created from two former K-8 elementary districts (Lynch and Pleasant Valley) and the high school those students attended Centennial. Residents voted in 1976 to combine the two districts and the high school, which previously was part of the Gresham Union High School District. The new K-12 district was named Centennial in recognition of the nation's bi-centennial celebration. MISSION STATEMENT: All students think, achieve and make a difference in the world.

The Riverdale School District serves over 600 families living in a residential, wooded area seven miles south of downtown Portland, Oregon and adjacent to the city of Lake Oswego. Riverdale schools focus first and foremost on the relationship between teacher and student, and the academic disciplines that bring them together. Students are required to demonstrate their understanding of a core subject matter through classroom work as well as demonstrations called "exhibitions." These exhibitions provide a basis for accountability by asking students to show what they know. The focus of the high school is to help adolescents learn to use their minds well. Riverdale School District is committed to providing education for all students that is personalized, learner-centered, and academically rigorous.
