We’re here to help

Together, we’ll assess your needs and develop a plan for high school completion that works for you. The first step is to re-enroll — and East County Bridges is here to support you every step of the way!

East County Bridges (ECB) is a program of Multnomah Education Service District that is dedicated to inspiring and empowering youth to take charge of their education and future.

Steps to enroll

Step 1: Find your school district

If you’re 21 years old or under, your first step to (re-)enrolling in any educational option is to find the school district your address is located in. Use the map below to find your school district.

How to find your school district

Click the button above to open the school district map. Use the “Near Me” location button on the top left of the screen and enter your address. Your school district will display at the top of the resulting pop-up. Watch our video tutorial below to see how this process works.

Step 2: Enroll

Next, enroll in the district your address is located in. Even if you don’t want to attend your neighborhood school, you need to be enrolled before you can be reassigned to alternate education options.
