Okanogan School District Location: Okanogan (Information used with permission of the Okanogan Chamber of Commerce)      We value our community of cultures that go back many generations and are rich in the history of cattle ranches, orchards, mining and timber, many of which continue today.      Ours is a quiet, peaceful, safe and supportive community that places high emphasis on youth and the quality of schools. Okanogan is a community with a down-home feel where everyone counts and is needed . . . a community where you can make a contribution to the kind of place you want to live.      Straddling the Okanogan River, the eastern portion of the City of Okanogan lies within the boundaries of the 2100-square-mile Colville Indian   Reservation.      Located on U.S. Highway 97, eastern Washington's primary north-south corridor and gateway to British Columbia, Okanogan is readily accessible by both auto and airplane.      From Okanogan's location at the junction of Highway 97 and state highways 20 and 155, Wenatchee is 90 miles south on Highway 97 and the border with British Columbia, Canada, 50 miles north.
