Education

The schools of the Tulelake Basin Joint Unified School District are well known for their use of a vast array of technology. From ActiveBoards in all teachers' classrooms to teleconferencing units for distance learning and professional development activities, the Tulelake schools are extremely technologically advanced considering their remoteness.

There are three schools in the school district and two of which are actually in Tulelake. Newell Elementary teaches from kindergarten through second grade. This school is just down Highway 139 in the town of Newell. Third through sixth grades are housed in Tulelake Elementary School, which is located in Tulelake. The elementary's mascot is the Goslings, reflective of the population of waterfowl in the area. This mascot is directly related to the high school's. Tulelake High School's mascot is the Honkers. The high school, also located in Tulelake, houses grades seventh through 12th. All three schools offer state of the art facilities and a full range of after school activities including FBLA, FFA, a variety of sports, and many clubs.

In spite of the area's high poverty, under-educated adult population, and dominance of Spanish-speaking families, Tulelake High School proves successful by preparing 60% of their students with a program of study that meets California's "a-g" requirements for university entrance; consequently, more than half their high school seniors attend colleges and universities upon graduation--primarily 4-year institutions.
