GUIDE
Beaverton High School Families,

Welcome to Beaverton High School. We are pleased to have you join our community. There is a rich
history of excellence and tradition at BHS and we look forward to telling you the BHS story.

The mission of Beaverton High School is clear: We believe ALL students will graduate from Beaverton
High School prepared for, confident in, and excited about the futures they choose. In pursuit of that
mission we are guided by four enduring core values:

Excellence Inspires Us
Learning Transforms Us
Community Connects Us
Tradition Unites Us

These values resonate through everything we do and guide our journey into the future.

We are a school keenly aware of the rich foundation that our past provides us. During 2016, our
school celebrated the 100th year on our current campus. Throughout those one hundred years, thou-
sands of students graduated from BHS and went on to successful careers in business, government,
the arts, education, and athletics. Our graduates leave with a strong academic foundation, a drive for
excellence, and a commitment to their community. Every BHS student walks the same halls and sits in
the same classrooms that were the starting point for so many successful alumni.

Building on our past, we are focused on the future. We are creating a school that offers every student
the education that prepares them to take advantage of the opportunities available in the innovation
economy. We strive to create technology-rich, student-centered, and inquiry-based education. Our
facilities are being refurbished to offer learning spaces that foster curiosity, flexible thinking, and
cooperation. The faculty and staff work collaboratively to create a school that ignites the potential of
all students. Every BHS student can be engaged and inspired within this setting.

We are a diverse community that encourages the inspiration and aspiration of every person. Our
academic program provides varied avenues for students to explore their interests and develop their
strengths. The athletic and activities programs offer a wealth of opportunities for active involvement
at BHS. Every student is encouraged to find a way to connect to BHS.

On behalf of Beaverton High School, welcome to BHS. In the coming months there will be many chanc-
es to learn about us. I encourage you to take advantage of every opportunity you can to experience
the BHS story.

Yours truly,

Anne S. Erwin
Principal
