Camas School District’s new Lacamas Lake Elementary school building is on track to open for the 2018-19 school year, and the district plans to repurpose the former Lacamas Heights Elementary building off Northeast Garfield Street for continued use.

The district has budgeted $1.6 million of the $120 million bond passed in 2016 to make updates to Lacamas Heights, which will house Camas High’s Integrated Arts and Academics (IAA) program next year.
