Sherman County School District #1 was created in 1994 when Rufus Elementary School District, Wasco Grade School District, South Sherman Elementary, and Sherman Union High School District unified into one county-wide school district.
The Sherman Union High School Board became the governing body for the new district. The five board members are nominated by zone and elected at large. The board is served administratively by a superintendent, deputy clerk and part-time confidential secretary. The district office is located in the former Rufus elementary School. The District operates two K-8 elementary schools and a high school. North Sherman (formerly Wasco Grade School) in a K-8 facility located in Wasco services approximately 150 students. South Sherman Elementary school in Grass Valley, K-8, serves approximately 130 students. Both schools feed into Sherman High located mid-way between the two elementary schools in the town of Moro. Sherman High has 135 students in grades 9-12. Each of these schools is administered by a building principal.
 Sherman County School District is considered both rural and remote. The two elementary schools are separated by 18 miles and are approximately 35 miles from the nearest elementary outside of the district. Sherman High is 45 miles from the nearest high school. The closest city of any size is The Dalles located in Wasco County. Sherman County School District is the only school district in the county. There are no private schools in Sherman County and very few youngsters are home schooled.
Sherman County School District is one of six school districts in three counties served by North Central Education Service District. The ESD provides the necessary staff for all the district's special education and counseling needs, and funding which makes it possible for the district to offer music and foreign language and to stay current with the latest technology. North Central ESD also provides staff to assist in the areas of curriculum development, library services, print services and technology.
