Welcome to Clear Creek Amana Community School District (CCACSD), where education meets excellence! 

At CCACSD we believe in fostering a dynamic and inclusive learning environment for students in grades PK-12. Our dedicated team of educators is committed to providing a well-rounded education that not only emphasizes academic excellence but also nurtures the development of essential life skills.

From the earliest years in kindergarten to the final stages of high school, we prioritize creating a supportive and engaging atmosphere where every student can thrive. Our curriculum is thoughtfully designed to cater to the diverse needs and learning styles of our students, ensuring a comprehensive and enriching educational experience.

Collaboration between parents, educators, and the community is a cornerstone of our educational philosophy. We encourage open communication and active participation to create a strong partnership in shaping the future of our students.

The continued community support of education is evidenced by the voters passing major facility and school district construction projects to support the growing needs of the district. In 2022, voters passed a general bond referendum to build the 6th elementary attendance center for the district. East Ridge Elementary school will open for the 2024-2025 school year. Fourth grade students attending North Bend Elementary and Oak Hill Elementary will feed into East Ridge Elementary. All 5th grade students in the district will feed to East Ridge Elementary. In 2024-2025, the district will also open a dedicated PK Center, Clipper Early Childhood Academy, to address the rapid growth on the east side of the district.

Each attendance center has a full-time building principal.  Of the 248 certified teachers, 53% hold a Master's Degree or higher. The staff is caring and committed to providing the best education possible for all students.
