Student Life

Corbett School District prides itself on providing rich educational experiences both in the classroom and outside of the classroom.  While the primary focus of education is academics, Corbett strives to maintain other educational and social experiences.  Student life at Corbett includes place based experiences for grade school students in the form of numerous field trips and exploratory outings in the beautiful Columbia River Gorge.  Be sure to look hear for descriptions of those events.  Middle schools students enjoy a vibrant array of overnight field trips tied to the curriculum but with the express intent of fostering community, teaching social awareness, and civic responsibility.  Students in Corbett High School are encouraged to participate in leadership activities that benefit the greater community.  The Leadership team is open to all who are interested.

At both the middle and high school level Corbett School District and Corbett Booster Club work together to provide athletic experiences for students.  Extra-curricular experiences like those associated with athletics are a critical component of an educational experience.  Look here for updates on those experiences afforded our students.
