Southridge High School is a suburban high school in Beaverton, Oregon. It is one of seven high schools in the Beaverton School District. The school currently offers the International Baccalaureate program, and some Advanced Placement courses. It belongs to the Metro League for interscholastic athletics and activities.
Recognition: Southridge was named an Exemplary Smaller Learning Communities site in 2002 by the U.S. Department of Education and has been recognized throughout Oregon for its accomplishments.
Other notes: President George W. Bush spoke at Southridge High School on August 13th, 2004, while on the campaign trail, and addressed supporters at an invitation-only event in the main gym. On the same day, presidential candidate John Kerry held a rally at Tom McCall Waterfront Park in Downtown Portland.
The school administration, particularly Principal Amy Gordon, has come under nationally-covered attention regarding the decision to disallow The Laramie Project to be produced by the drama department. Additionally, the school was picketed by members of Fred Phelps's Westboro Baptist Church on September 30, 2005, in response to the potential production of the play. After finally receiving permission by a committee to perform the play, the show ran from May 26th to May 27th to a packed house each night. News coverage about the production was seen from Salt Lake City to Manhattan. In response to the school administration's very poor handling of the situation, theatre director Wade Willis chose to resign. An article in The Oregonian cited one reason for his resignation- he is "an instructor who wants to open doors and minds the school would rather keep closed".
Southridge's theatre department is proudly sending four phenomenal students to an international competition with the play Seascape.
Unlike most public high schools, Southridge operates on twelve-week trimesters rather than two eighteen-week semesters. School administrators say this allows for a greater depth and breadth of learning.
