Oregon City High School is a public high school in Oregon City, Oregon, United States. It is the third-most populated high school in Oregon.HistoryOregon City High School was established in 1885 on the lower level of Oregon City on Jackson Street. Due to the growing number of students in the late 1980s, in the 1989–1990 school year the Moss Junior High School was established as Moss Campus (freshmen only) on the other side of Oregon City. In the early 2000s, construction began on the Moss Campus to convert it into a larger campus that could accommodate all grades. Construction finished on the new campus, often referred to as Beavercreek, in 2003. The first year with a traditional school model of 9th to 12th graders was the 2003-2004 school year. The other campus, Jackson, for 10th to 12th graders, opened in 1885, but closed in 2003 due to the aftereffects of multiple disasters (fires and earthquakes) and the inability to effectively repair the damage. The building is now the campus for the Clackamas Academy of Industrial Sciences (CAIS), and is still in use for basketball games and other activities.After construction finished, academics shifted to the new campus, although football games are still played on the football field located across the street from the old campus at Pioneer Memorial Stadium. Many current sporting events are still held at Pioneer Memorial Stadium including football, soccer, lacrosse, and track and field.AcademicsIn 1985, Oregon City High School was honored in the Blue Ribbon Schools Program, the highest honor a school can receive in the United States.Oregon City offers 14 Advanced Placement courses and is connected to Clackamas Community College, where some Oregon City Courses are taught by professors.
