School Notes:
  • Thurston High School is located in Springfield, Oregon in Lane County. Their mascot is a black colt.
  • History: Thurston High School was started in 1961.
  • Shooting: In May 1998, student Kip Kinkel killed his parents, William and Faith, both Spanish teachers at local high schools. On May 21, 1998, he arrived at class at Thurston, murdering 2 of his classmates, Ben Walker and Mikael Nickolauson, and injuring 25. Kinkel was subdued by fellow students including Jake Ryker, who had himself been shot. Kinkel had brought three weapons to the high school, a .22 caliber rifle, a .22 caliber handgun, and a 9mm Glock semi-automatic pistol. His case has become one of the standard case studies in profiling students who bring guns to school for purposes of murder, similar to the Columbine High School massacre.
