Tucked away on the north Oregon coast, bordered by soft, white sand beaches and the majestic Coast range mountains, the Neah-Kah-Nie School District's community actually comprises the small coastal towns of Bay City, Garibaldi, Rockaway Beach, Wheeler, Nehalem, and Manzanita. Each separate community brings its own tradition and history to the schools, creating a unique environment combining the fresh air of the sea and mountain timberlands with the charm of boutiques, antique shops, and art galleries. Area residents enjoy outstanding nature and recreational opportunities in a locale providing both a chance for quiet escape and a bit of adventure. Crabbing, clamming, surf and deep sea fishing opportunities abound. Whale watching, hiking and exploration entice. The world famous Tillamook Cheese Factory is just minutes away. Portland, Oregon’s largest city, is about 90 miles away.
The communities that comprise Neah-Kah-Nie School District have a population of over 4,500 citizens. Commercial and sport fishing, timber, tourism, dairy farming, and light manufacturing are the area’s primary industries.
