About Us
Yes, we’re built for this.
A Creative Agency Model–built with Care for Education
The ESD 112 Communications department is the largest school communications program among Washington’s nine educational service districts, offering a wide range of services tailored to each partner’s needs. Our 14-member team brings a strong mix of experience and skills in school communications, making us a unique resource in the state. When you work with us, you’re partnering with a supportive, collaborative team that understands education, building public trust, and is committed to helping you connect with your community.
Our Communications and Public Engagement department is structured similarly to a creative agency, but...
Unlike private, for-profit firms, we are a public education service organization committed to supporting school districts and educational programs only.
Who is Educational Service District (ESD) 112
OUR MISSION
ESD 112 equalizes educational opportunities for learning communities through innovative partnerships, responsive leadership, and exceptional programs.
Serving 30 public school districts, two state-operated districts, and more than 25 private school districts across six Southwest Washington counties, ESD 112 supports learning communities through more than 300 programs. These services span early learning and special education, as well as operational and technical support, including transportation, construction management, and insurance cooperatives.
Many of our programs, including Communications, work with schools outside our southwest Washington region, further expanding access to quality communications and creative services beyond our borders.
Public Service with an Entrepreneurial Spirit
In addition to acting as a liaison between local districts and the State Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI) to implement state-mandated programs, Washington’s ESDs are public entities that operate in a highly entrepreneurial fashion. We blend the dedication and accountability of the public sector with the spirit and ingenuity of the private sector to achieve results for our school district partners and programs.
