Chief Umtuch Middle School has 580 students in four grades (5th - 8th) and is located at the center of our school district. Battle Ground is a small rural town near the Columbia River, north of Portland, Oregon. Students from all over the Battle Ground School district come to this school to participate in the Aspire Program, a magnet program for gifted students.

We are the 8th grade Aspire Class at Chief Umtuch Middle School. We are a class of 17 students and are doing the Archive-it project as part of our Language Arts/History block class. Mrs. Doughty has been teaching us, and we feel that it have been very important to help capture some of the information on the web. We know that this will help historians of the future find out about the past.
