Divisions Upper Columbia Academy (UCA) is a 9-12 boarding high school located in Spangle, Washington, about 20 miles (32 km) south of Spokane.

That original school closed in 1945 due to lack of space and physical plant problems - walls were held together by metal cables mounted on both sides of the rooms.

Pastor Mote came to the auction for the old poor farm in Spangle, but the minimum opening bid was over his limit.

Pastor Mote's was the only bid and the property was purchased, along with 15 hogs that they sold for $1500 to provide operating capital for the first year of school.

The men's Basketball team has been consistently good, boasting a positive win to loss ratio.
