The school district and Fort Ross community shall educate, inspire and empower our students to become skilled individuals, responsible decision-makers, life-long learners, and creative members of this community and the world.

In 1885, Fort Ross School began in a two room building in back of the George Call family home at today’s Fort Ross State Historic Park. For a time the Call family employed a governess, but the family grew and neighbor children were ready to enter school. Mr. George Call deeded an acre of land to the state as a spot to build on, a neighbor provided the lumber, and the school was built. The building stood on the bluff, across from what now is the picnic area.

Today, Fort Ross School has two classrooms, TK-4 and 5-8 and our yearly enrollment is around 20 students.
