Lake Oswego High School is a public high school in Lake Oswego, Oregon, United States. It is accredited through the Northwest Association of Schools and Colleges.HistoryLake Oswego High School first opened in September 1951 as a six-year school, with an enrollment of 564. In 1956, it became a four-year high school with the opening of Lake Oswego Junior High School, and in 1958, a three-year high school (with 589 students) as the LOJHS expanded to include the 9th grade (for a total of 656 students), in advance of the "Baby Boomer" generation. In 1971, it grew from a three-year to a standard four-year high school. In its history, the school and others in its district, such as Lakeridge High School, have received many honors for scholarship, leadership, and athletics on the local, state, and national level.From its location and name, Lake Oswego High School adopted a nautical theme, with a nickname of "Lakers".In the fall of 2005, construction was finished on a completely new campus. Built over the original school, the new building featured classrooms equipped with built-in projectors and SMART boards. Other improvements included a state-of-the-art 500-seat theater and a building wing designated for art classes.Several years later, mold and defects in the walls and roof of the school and gym, as a result of faulty construction, were detected. A string of lawsuits ensued between the school district and parties involved with the construction. The district eventually reached a $6.7 million settlement with its primary contractor, Robinson Construction Company, and several smaller settlements with sub-contractors. Repair work to fix the school's structural problems was completed in 2012.
