Who We Are…

North Marion School District is located on a 72 acre campus in Aurora, Oregon. Although our campus is located in Aurora, we serve multiple communities including Broadacres, Butteville, Donald, Hubbard and North Woodburn. Our neighboring communities are home to an ever-growing and expanding diverse population now reflected in our student demographics. To the uninformed, our communities may appear as a cluster of dots on a map, but we are one community built by and for our neighbors, tasked with empowering our students to lead productive lives as stewards of their world. Our rural setting, where four schools (PreK thru 12th grade) are located within one “city” block, creates a collaborative learning campus that simply cannot be replicated in a metropolitan area. As a community, “we are learning together to cultivate lifelong growth.”
