Lewis–Clark State College, public college in Lewiston, Idaho, US
Lewis-Clark State College is a public college in Lewiston, Idaho, offering certificates and degrees at the associate, bachelor, and graduate levels across a wide range of fields. The campus sits within the city and is made up of a mix of older brick buildings and newer structures, with a branch location also operating in Coeur d'Alene.
The school was founded in 1893 as the Lewis State Normal School, originally created to train teachers for the region. A fire destroyed the main building in 1917, but the school kept growing and took its current name in 1971.
The college takes its name from the Lewis and Clark Expedition, which passed through this part of the Pacific Northwest in the early 1800s. The school's sports teams are called the Warriors, and this connection to regional exploration history is woven into the everyday identity of the campus.
The campus is easy to walk around and sits in a central part of Lewiston, making it simple to combine a visit with exploring the surrounding city. Student-led tours are a good way to get a feel for daily life on campus and learn about what the college offers.
The college's baseball team has hosted the national NAIA World Series at Harris Field every year since 2000, drawing teams from across the country to this small campus. Many players from this program have gone on to play professionally, which is rare for a school of this size.
