Clarkston School District Announces Selection Of TriState Health To Operate New School-Based Health Center
- 12/04/25
Clarkston, WA — Clarkston School District is pleased to announce that TriState Health has been selected to establish and operate a new School-Based Health Center (SBHC) on the Clarkston High School campus.
A Selection Committee made up of approximately 10 members, including educators, parents, a student, a school board representative, and community members, reviewed and evaluated proposals submitted by qualified health care organizations. The district received strong, highly capable proposals, and the committee’s work provided valuable insight to support the final decision.
The SBHC will provide preventative and primary health care services to Clarkston students, with a strong emphasis on mental and behavioral health. The center is designed to reduce barriers to care, increase access for underserved youth, and strengthen overall student well-being and success both in and out of the classroom.
“We are excited to partner with TriState Health to bring essential services directly to our high school campus,” said Superintendent Knowlton. “This project represents a major step forward in supporting the health and success of our students.”
Clarkston School District has secured state grant funding to plan, design, and construct the School-Based Health Center, including a legislative grant. These funds support the project’s development. TriState Health will operate the center upon its completion and will provide at minimum:
- 10 hours per week of physical health care
- 10 hours per week of mental and behavioral health care
- 15 hours per week of care coordination
TriState Health is well-positioned to take on this new responsibility and brings a strong commitment to serving youth in our community. The district looks forward to collaborating on this important effort to expand student access to high-quality school-based care.
Construction of the SBHC will involve renovating the T-Building on the Clarkston High School campus, with work scheduled to begin in the near future. Additional updates will be shared with the community as the project progresses.
