St. Helens High School is located 30 miles North of Portland, Oregon, on the Columbia River. Our school district encompasses the communities of St. Helens, Columbia City, Yankton, Deer Island and surrounding rural areas. We serve nearly 3000 students at 8 school sites.
The region has a number of industries that provide a stable economic base for the community and the school district. Small and large acreage home sites are available for families who choose the rural life but have easy access to the Portland Metro area. Many of our parents commute to work in the Portland Metro area on a daily basis, preferring the lifestyle of a smaller semi-rural area. District athletics moved to the OSAA 5A level competition in 2006/2007. We have an active Drama department and Band program that have placed 1st in State competition for several years. We also continue to offer some of the most comprehensive college and career readiness opportunities (CTE) for students in the state. Go Lions!
