Adna School District

What Adna School District does

Adna School District is a public K-12 school district operating under Washington State law, headquartered at 179 Dieckman Rd, Chehalis, WA (Lewis County). District #226 operates two schools — Adna Elementary (grades K-5) and Adna Middle/High School (grades 6-12) — and is governed by a five-member elected Board of Directors representing five sub-districts, with Superintendent Thad Nelson leading the Business Office and overall administration. The district primarily serves resident students within its boundaries, with limited non-resident enrollment accepted through the OSPI Washington State Choice Transfer Request portal.

The district's service offering spans standard K-12 academic curriculum, the Highly Capable (Hi Cap) Program identifying students in the top 3 percentiles of cognitive aptitude via CogAT, dual credit and College in the Classroom offerings, Career and Technical Education (CTE), athletics (football, basketball, soccer, track, wrestling, trap shooting, and others), school nutrition (breakfast and lunch with Skyward online payments and MyNutriKids account management), counseling, nursing, and mental health services. Technology infrastructure is standard K-12 educational IT rather than proprietary: Skyward handles student information and family access, MyNutriKids manages meal accounts, CogAT is used for Hi Cap identification, and the public-facing digital presence runs on Apptegy's platform with iOS and Android apps.

As a government state entity, Adna is funded through Washington State apportionment, local levies, bonds, and federal programs rather than equity, venture, or commercial revenue. Limited commercial activity consists of unit-priced meal sales: elementary breakfast $2.00/lunch $3.55, middle/high breakfast $2.25/lunch $3.95, with reduced-price meals free for qualified students. In March 2026 the district became one of only four Washington districts to earn both State Superintendent's Awards for Educational Excellence for achievement and progress, ranking among the top 25 top-performing districts in the state.
