Discovery High School students gather in the east commons area of their project-based learning high school in Camas on Thursday afternoon, May 22. To make up for a $13 million revenue shortfall, the Camas School District is merging its two project-based learning schools, bringing Odyssey Middle School students and staff into the adjacent Discovery High School building this fall to create the district’s first 6-12 school.
