It is the core belief of the High Desert Education Service District that all children deserve the support and help they need to learn, grow and succeed in today's educational system.  Therefore, the ESD works together with school districts, social service agencies and local communities to provide quality, efficient, and cost effective services to meet the needs of children.  The High Desert ESD assists school districts and the Department of Education in achieving Oregon's educational goals by providing equitable, high quality, cost-effective and locally responsive educational services at a regional level to over 30,000 students and staff.
