Friendly Reminder for Families Transferring from Another District
If your child is transferring to Falls City from another school district, please remember to start the transfer process again with your home district for the 2025–2026 school year.
Transfers need to be approved by both your home district and Falls City before we can finalize enrollment. This step is required each school year—even if your child has transferred before.
Not sure which school district your home address is in? You can find out by using https://www.greatschools.org/school-district-boundaries-map/.
Thank you for helping us ensure a smooth start to the new school year!

Play Synapsis: Two Timelines. One Life-Altering Choice. It's 2020, and Hannah's senior year—the one she'd dreamed about—is stolen by the chaos of Covid. But when she’s offered an impossible opportunity to rewrite history—a literal deal with the devil—she faces a moment of truth. Will she reclaim the year she lost, or will she discover that some sacrifices shape us in ways we never imagined?
A gripping story of fate, consequence, and the choices that define us. What would you risk to change the past?
At Falls City School District, there’s nothing we cherish more than watching our students grow—and few stories capture that journey quite like Amber Houghtaling’s.
Amber first walked through the doors of Falls City as a preschooler in 2008, a bright-eyed Mountaineer ready to learn. From those early days all the way through her high school graduation, Amber’s roots only grew deeper. But her story didn’t end there.
Driven by a passion to give back, Amber returned to her hometown school not just as a proud alum, but as a student teacher while earning her degree in Elementary Education at Western Oregon University. She came full circle—teaching in the very classrooms where she once learned to read, write, and dream big.
This is what it means to be homegrown. This is what it means to be a Mountaineer.
As Amber steps into her teaching career, we couldn’t be prouder. We know she’ll inspire the next generation of future teachers, engineers, doctors, nurses, welders, mechanics, and dreamers who walk the halls of Falls City Elementary. Her story reminds us that our small-town roots grow big futures.
Once a Mountaineer, always a Mountaineer.

Another former graduate stopped by today for a visit and a tour. Sharon Anderson, a scholarship winner from the class of 1963, stopped by with her daughter and granddaughter. It was a pleasure showing them around.
🌟 Attention all Falls City Parents and Guardians🌟
If your child attends Falls City HS, ES or PreK, and lives in another school district, it’s time to renew the district transfer process for the 25/26 school year. The district transfer needs to be approved by both superintendents before your child can be enrolled at the Falls City School District this coming school year. Please reach out to your resident school district to initiate the transfer process.
We’re here to help make the process smooth and easy for you! If you have any questions, feel free to reach out: 📞 HS Office: 503-787-3521 ext 1106 📞 ES Office: 503-787-3521 ext 2207
Thank you for being part of the Falls City community! Let’s make this school year the best one yet 🎉.
We always love it when the alumni stop by to visit. We would like to thank Jim Krummel (class of 64) for stopping by and donating his ''wife's (Roxie
Wheeler, class or 66) heritage emblems off of old cheerleading uniforms and letterman jackets. We would also like to honor their service they provided to the district in years past. Roxie taught at the elementary school and Jim served on the school board during the time that they lived in the community. It was a pleasure giving Jim a tour of the school.

In a partnership with the Oregon Area Health Education Center, some FCHS students received a CPR certification today. This is the first of two CPR certification days. Students will also have the opportunity to learn about casting, phlebotomy, surgical dexterity, mental health, and more throughout the spring. This opportunity was made possible because of our amazing alumni. So many former students are out there doing wonderful work.
