Adrienne C. Nelson High School (ANHS, colloquially Nelson High School) is a 4-year public high school in Happy Valley, Oregon. The school is the fourth and newest public high school in the North Clackamas School District.
History[edit]
Adrienne Nelson High School was proposed to relieve ongoing crowding issues at Clackamas High School in a $523 million bond in 2016.[3] The building itself was built in 2010 as a middle school with the intentions of eventually turning it into a high school.[4] In 2019, renovations to the school began for it to better fit a high school environment. The middle school was relocated to a new building in 2021.
The renovations included 16 classrooms, a performing arts center, athletics center, track and field, tennis courts, and a health center. ANHS opened for students in 2021 after COVID-19 restrictions were lifted.
Nelson High School was named after Adrienne Nelson, the first African American woman to serve in the U.S. District Court for the District of Oregon.[5][6][7]
Academics[edit]
In 2022, 90% of the students received a high school diploma. Of 80 students, 78 graduated, and 2 dropped out.[8]
Athletics[edit]
Nelson High School athletic teams compete in the OSAA 6A-4 Mt. Hood Conference. The school's athletic director is Vicki Nelms and the athletics secretary is Chris Riewald.[1]
