The Kootenai School District, located in beautiful northern Idaho, has a proud tradition of offering a quality education to its students. Located ten miles from the resort town of Harrison, the district is nestled among pine trees in a rural setting. Deer and turkey on the sidelines of a football game or on the playground are common sites. The Coeur D’Alene River runs through the Chain Lakes and empties into the Lake Coeur D’Alene, offering boating and fishing opportunities. The lake has over 125 miles of shoreline and a surface area of over fifty square miles. The paved Trail of the Coeur D’Alenes is a repurposed railroad track that allows hikers, bikers, and others the ability to commune with nature and revel in the beauty of mountains, rivers, and lakes. Hunting opportunities include elk, deer, turkey, bear, ducks, geese, and much more while fishing for salmon, bass, and trout are abundant.
