Our Community:

Yoncalla is a rural community with a population of 1,060. It is located off I-5 in the beautiful Umpqua Basin in Douglas County. It is 40 miles south of Eugene and 30 miles north of Roseburg, the county seat. The city of Eugene provides excellent shopping centers and other amenities that a large city provides. There are also many post secondary-training opportunities with Umpqua Community College in Roseburg and Lane Community College located in Eugene, which is also the home of the University of Oregon.

The economy in Yoncalla is based on lumber related industries and ranching. There are many churches and several service organizations. There are many recreational opportunities in the area. The Oregon coast is a short 50-mile drive.

The area abounds with excellent outdoor opportunities.

Our High School / Middle School:

Yoncalla High School / Middle School has approximately 134 students in grades 7-12. We have a classified staff of 6 and a certified staff of 10. Parents, students, and teachers are pleased that students receive personal attention because the average class size is fewer than 25 students. Outside of the core classes of English, Science, Math, and History the district has specialists in Music, Physical Education, Foreign language, and Special Education. Credit recovery classes are offered through an online program called Odysseyware and ORVED.  The high school also has college credit opportunities in Math, Accounting, Word Processing, Electronic Calculators, Careers, Desktop Publishing, FBLA, and Microsoft Office Applications. 

Extracurricular Activities enrich the curriculum of the school by making available a variety of activities in which students may participate. Students have the opportunity to join the following clubs: FBLA-Y Club, Leadership, National Honor Society, and others. Yoncalla High School participates in the Skyline Conference, both athletically and scholastically, as a Division 1A school.
