Our Mission

...to educate by helping students acquire the skills, knowledge, and attitudes needed to achieve their individual potential...

Welcome

We are honored to have the privilege of serving over 4,000 students in the Oregon School District. We understand and appreciate the trust parents and community members place in us, and we are committed to providing a personalized education for each student.

Leslie Bergstrom, Superintendent

Our District is dedicated to five core values: Relevant & Empowering Learning Experiences, Caring & Professional Educators, Educational Equity, Strong Family & Community Partnerships, and Whole Child Emphasis. These values are interconnected and work together to set the foundation of our strong and growing school district. I see the power of this approach each year as I watch our students achieve great things with the care and support of so many wonderful educators and community engagement.

The success of our District is the result of a deep commitment and support from students and families, educators, the Board of Education and our community. With these partnerships, we have undergone several important initiatives that support our students and connect with the greater Oregon community.

We remain committed to continuous improvement and will always look for opportunities to move our strong District forward. We will do this together with our community to achieve a plan that realizes our collective goals and dreams.

On behalf of the Oregon School District, I thank you for the opportunity to serve this wonderful community!

Dr. Leslie Bergstrom
Oregon School District Superintendent
