COLUMBIA COUNTY EDUCATION CAMPUS

Columbia County Education Campus is a public high school that is part of the St Helens SD 502 school district, located in St Helens, OR with about 76 students offering grade levels from 9th Grade to 12th Grade. With about 4 teachers, Columbia County Education Campus has a student/teacher ratio of about 19:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

The Columbia County Education Campus (CCEC), located in St. Helens, Oregon, operates as an alternative educational facility within the St. Helens School District. Designed to provide a flexible and supportive environment, the campus serves students who may not thrive in a traditional comprehensive high school setting. Its primary mission is to offer personalized learning pathways that help students overcome academic or personal obstacles, ultimately ensuring they have the opportunity to earn their high school diplomas and prepare for life after graduation.

The program at CCEC is characterized by a smaller, more intimate learning community that emphasizes individualized instruction and strong teacher-student relationships. By utilizing a curriculum tailored to meet diverse learning needs and schedules, the school works to reduce barriers to success, such as credit recovery requirements or the need for vocational-focused training. Overall, the campus serves as a vital resource for the district, fostering a culture of accountability and resilience to help ensure that every student has a viable path toward college, career, or military readiness.
