Dozens of students walked out of class Wednesday, Feb. 26 to protest the Camas School District’s plan to combine Odyssey Middle School and Discovery High School into one campus at the start of the 2025-26 school year.

About 40 Odyssey and Discovery students protested on campus, holding “Save Our School” and “Save Our Teachers” signs and encouraging students and Camas community members to write to state legislators calling for higher levels of funding for Washington’s public K-12 schools.
