The Great Northern School District No. 312 is a school district in Spokane County, Washington, United States. It covers a rural unincorporated area between Airway Heights and Spokane and has a single school, named Great Northern Elementary, that serves grades kindergarten to six.

The district was named for the Great Northern Railway, which donated the land on which the district's single school sits.[2] The first school at the site was built in 1894 and replaced by a larger three-room building, which opened in 1914.[2][3]
