History

This is the first and only high school in Wilsonville. Before 1995, students had to either take a bus to West Linn to attend West Linn High School, or go to a neighboring town’s high school. Wilsonville high school was referred to as "high tech high" when it opened in 1995,^[6][7] being praised for providing network computers in each classroom and internet access for all students.

Up until 2023, the school did not have a proper performing arts center. The auditorium was undersized and not properly equipped. A bond passed in 2019 for the district provided the funds for a 30,000sf expansion for the school, adding a 600 seat auditorium and a black box theater. The old auditorium space was converted to a career and technical education space with a wood shop and a robotics lab, along with a few general classrooms.^[8][9][10]

Academics

In 2016, Wilsonville High School received a silver ranking from U.S. News & World Report,^[11] and was ranked 7th in the state. Standardized test scores show Wilsonville above the state average in reading, writing, math and science.

In 2024, 95% of the school's seniors received a high school diploma. Of 316 students, 300 graduated, 15 dropped out, and one returned for another year of school.^[12]
