The New Beaverton High School is future-ready by design—built to support student learning today, and their growth tomorrow.
Beaverton High School's design process was shaped by a set of North Stars developed through a robust, equity-driven community engagement process. Key themes—Belonging, Wellbeing, and Climate Justice—emerged from Listening and Learning
sessions and were translated by the Design Advisory Committee (DAC) into Guiding Principles that have served as a continual touchpoint for the DAC and Equity Commissioning Committee throughout every project phase.
BHS's main entry features the multicultural center, administration, and counseling, with intentional adjacencies that reinforce a sense of welcome from the moment students and families arrive on campus. Throughout the building, conceptual beads, threads, and jewels organize circulation and highlight special spaces—the "jewels"—that showcase and celebrate the many cultures within the BHS community, especially those that don't often see themselves represented. These jewels create spaces where every student can be seen, recognized, and celebrated by the BHS Representative Art and Visual Expression (BRAVE) Committee, which guides the selection and integration of artwork, graphics, and visual storytelling throughout the new campus.
The new building right-sizes BHS's program to a classroom capacity of 1,500 students with core capacity for 2,200, reflecting both immediate enrollment needs and long-term flexibility. Designed with an equity lens centering traditionally marginalized students, the program includes a Multicultural Center, Wellness Center, gender-neutral restrooms and locker rooms, and flexible spaces that support a range of sensory and social-emotional needs.
Additionally, future-ready learning spaces extend throughout the building, from Career Technical Education (CTE) classrooms to a black box theatre featuring acoustic cedar cladding. CTE opportunities have expanded significantly, with a new Electrical CTE program—a rare offering at the high school level—and 6,000 SF dedicated to the District's Health Careers program. A natural light–optimized gymnasium with a second-level indoor running track anchors student wellness and athletics, complemented by a pottery room, yoga studio, breakout study zones, an enclosed student courtyard, and a student health clinic. Outdoors, upgraded athletic fields, including new turf on the football field and new tennis courts, round out a campus built to support every dimension of student life.
