Touchet School District

📣 Touchet Families & Community – We Need Your Voice! ❤️ Please join us for an important community meeting on Wednesday, April 23rd from 6:00–7:00 PM in the Touchet Commons to talk about the 2025–2026 school year. As a small rural community with a big heart, we’ve always taken great pride in our school and the generations of students who’ve walked its halls. We’ve faced challenges before—and overcome them—because we faced them together. Right now, Touchet School District is experiencing enrollment challenges that are affecting our programs, staffing, and resources. But in true Touchet spirit, we believe that together, we can find student-centered, positive solutions. 💬 We want to hear from you. 👣 We want you with us as we plan the path forward. Let’s come together, listen, share, and support one another—just like we always do. ❤️ #TouchetStrong #CommunityMeeting #RedhawkPride #TogetherWeCan
