From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Orchard Farm School District was formed on February 14, 1958 when schools around Orchard Farm and Portage Des Sioux, Missouri decided to come together and form one district. There are three schools on the campus, Orchard Farm Elementary, Orchard Farm Jr. High, and Orchard Farm High School. As of 2007 the elementary has 581 students, grades K-5 including pre-k, the Jr. high has 314 students, grades 6-8 and the high school has 399 students, grades 9-12. The school serves the city of St. Charles, Missouri, West Alton, and Portage Des Sioux, Missouri. The mascot is the Eagle and the school colors are green and white.

The administrators for Orchard Farm are as follows: Elementary School Principal, Mr. Jerry Oetting; Elementary School Assistant Principal, Mrs. Betheny Brown; Middle School Principal, Mrs. Marcia Cummins; High School Principal, Mr. Tim McInnis; High School Assistant Principal, Mr. Brian Smith.

The district is currently trying to pass a no tax increase preposition that will enable the district to build a new elementary school in the southern portion(New Town)of the district in St. Charles, Missouri. It is called Proposition E. The district will make improvements to the schools on the main campus as well.
