Sunset High School (SHS) is a public high school in Beaverton, Oregon, United States. The school currently offers the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme. It opened in 1959 and is the second oldest of the six high schools in the Beaverton School District. Sunset's athletic teams are known as the Apollos.[4]
History
The school opened in January 1959, initially with freshman and sophomore students only,[5] adding juniors in the fall and its first senior class in September 1960.[6]
Senator Robert F. Kennedy spoke at a student-organized mock Democratic Convention held at Sunset High School on May 17, 1968, less than three weeks before his assassination on June 5.[7][8][9]
Location
Sunset High School is located in the predominantly unincorporated area known as Cedar Mill. Although it has always had a Portland street address,[10] it has never actually been within the city of Portland proper. From 1959 to 1999, the school property was unincorporated land in Washington County, with it being in the Cedar Mill census-designated place as of the 1990 U.S. Census.[11] In 1999 the Sunset High School grounds (including the adjacent swimming pool) were annexed by the city of Beaverton.[12][13] Nevertheless, as of 2022 the school's mailing address remains a "Portland" address, as is the case for almost all of Cedar Mill.
Demographics
As of 2021–22, 50.5% of students are white, 11.4% Hispanic or Latino, 27.3% Asian, 1.3% African American, 0.4% Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander, 0.3% American Indian/Alaska Native, and 8.6% two or more races. The 2021–22 enrollment was 2,003.[1]
Academics
In 1983, Sunset High School was honored in the Blue Ribbon Schools Program, the highest honor a school can receive in the United States.[14]
In 2008, 84% of the school's seniors received a high school diploma. Of 498 students, 409 graduated, 59 dropped out, five received a modified diploma, and 25 were still in high school in 2009.[15][16]
