Great public education begins with a great community like Mead, which has made its schools a point of pride for a century. Today we are 14 schools serving 9,500 students just north of Spokane, and we still take great satisfaction in our amazing staff, in our high achieving students, and in our schools' frequent rankings among the state's best.
