School District is located in Thurston County, approximately 20 miles

and industry in nearby communities. We are located approximately halfway

only 60 miles from the ocean beaches.

Our
school district takes great pride in developing educational programs
that prepare students for a successful adult life. As a result of this
pride and commitment, each member of Rochester’s educational family sets
