Community Partners
 The School District reaches out to the community to form
valuable educational and recreational partnerships for
everyone's benefit. For example, a group of concerned
parents founded the Education Foundation in 1992 to create a
permanent endowment fund to generate income for disbursement to
Blaine County schools. Its donors include individuals,
businesses, organizations and foundations. Their
generosity results in improved equipment and learning programs
for our students and teachers.
It is difficult to acknowledge all the diverse local
organizations that enrich the learning environment of our
schools, but the College of Southern Idaho Blaine County Center and
the Blaine County Recreation Department deserve special mention. They have
joined forces with the School District to revitalize the old
high school as a Community Campus where they now have their
offices. And the Wood River Community YMCA is a new
educational partner for after school programs at our elementary
schools, as well as the preschool program at Hemingway.
College of Southern Idaho
 The College of Southern Idaho is based in Twin Falls, but it has expanded its campus and course offerings
to Blaine County to enable adult learners to take lower-division
college classes. High school students can take some
courses for dual credit. In addition, CSI offers a diverse
selection of community education programs for people of all
ages and interests. CSI also
oversees the Head Start program which has classroom facilities
in the Community Campus. Please click the link below for

programs at our elementary schools, and will also provide the

Blaine County Recreation District
 In every season, the Blaine County Recreation District sponsors
a great variety of indoor and outdoor recreation programs for
people of all ages and interests. They worked with Youth
Adult Konnections (YAK) to create the
HUB Youth Center
in the Community Campus. They also schedule use of the
Community Campus gym and oversee the summer swim programs at the
Aquatic Center. Thanks to their leadership, residents and
visitors enjoy an extensive network of excellent non-motorized
trails for biking, walking, rollerblading, and cross-country skiing.
