The mission of North Franklin School District is to educate all students by providing engaging learning opportunities and quality instruction to last a lifetime.

Who We Are:

North Franklin School District lies in the heart of the Co lumbia Basin, a rich agricultural community that includes the towns of Basin City, Connell, Eltopia and Mesa, Washington. District bus routes cover 700 miles per day in this geographically vast district. Located just outside the border of Tri - Cities, about 230 miles east of Seattle and 100 miles south of Spokane the district’s rural location makes the schools centers of learning, recreation and socialization.

About Us:

North Franklin School District is made up of four rural towns: Basin City, Connell, Eltopia and Mesa. The towns are agriculturally dependent, and businesses are centered on service to orchards, irrigated crops and dry land wheat farms. The primary industrial base includes food processing, agricultural chemicals and a minimum security correction facility and will soon include a medium security correction facility. The district’s rural location makes schools the center of education, recreation and socialization.

The community and the district population has dropped slightly in the past 5 years. Significant growth is expected to occur in the near future with numerous residential, commercial and industrial developments currently planned or underway.
