Klamath-Trinity Joint Unified School District is located in a rural region of Eastern Humboldt County, surrounded by the natural beauty of the Klamath and Trinity Rivers. Our Orleans Elementary campus is situated approximately two hours south of the Oregon border, while our Willow Creek site (Trinity Valley Elementary School) sits just off Highway 299 near the coastal mountain corridor. Because many applicants come from outside the area, we encourage candidates to explore our school communities as well as nearby coastal towns—such as Eureka, Arcata, McKinleyville, and Blue Lake—to gain a sense of the region. Many of our educators choose to live on the coast and enjoy a scenic daily commute along Highway 299 through forested mountains and river valleys. Living locally is equally rewarding, with close-knit communities nestled in wooded valleys and hillsides, where summer days often include swimming, relaxing, or fishing in the clear waters of the Klamath and Trinity Rivers.
