A.C. Houghton and Irrigon Community,

Today at 9:28 am we had an unexpected fire alarm as a result of some repairs on our heating system. The building was cleared following established procedures and we notified necessary first responders quickly to ensure the building was safe. We appreciate the quick response from our SRO Deputy Kippley and Morrow County Sheriff's Department, plus the Irrigon Volunteer Fire Department that was at the ready. Our staff and students did an excellent job of properly responding to this alarm and we were able to get back back to learning in a timely manner!

Greetings, Bobcats! The 2025 Lead in Water Test Results for A.C. Houghton Elementary School are now available.

Five fixtures were above the allowable level.  Three of the fixtures will be permanently removed from service as they are not vital to the learning environments. The remaining two fixtures have been taken out of service and our remediation process includes replacing the faucets and retesting.  We will continue remediation and testing until the levels are within safe range or they will also be permanently removed.  For more information about the process, please visit the Oregon Department of Education website.

 If you have any questions, please contact Brandi Sweeney, Maintenance Coordinator via email or phone.  Thank you.
