East Valley School District encompasses approximately 100 square miles, extending from Butler Road east to the Idaho border and from the Spokane River north to the foothills of Mount Spokane. The district operates six K-8 elementary schools; one comprehensive high school; an Enrichment Center that offers extensive early-childhood education, alternative education and special education; and a wide array of online learning programs that serve both residents of the area and many beyond. In addition, East Valley co-manages a vocational skills center with adjacent districts.
East Valley School District was organized in 1886. East Trent School District #63 was the first school district in the Spokane Valley area, it was later developed with the EVSD.
In 1888, the first public school house in the East Valley School District was constructed in the area now known as Otis Orchards. This one-room schoolhouse served the areas later known as East Farms, Moab and Otis Orchards. The Little White School on the Hill was built with twenty dollars worth of wood donated by William Pringle and was officially designate] School District #76 by the territorial legislature. Washington would not become a state until one year later in 1889.
The more modern "Cobblestone School" (1909–1918) replaced the Little White School on the Hill and boasted its first graduating high school class in 1914.
