Glide High School is a public high school in Glide, Oregon, United States. It made national news in July 2008 when a fire damaged one of the main buildings of the high school. It has since been in a budget crisis, in early 2009.[3]
[edit] July 2008 fire
On July 11-12 2008, a fire destroyed one of the high school's main buildings, which held the science lab, classrooms, the home economics area, and the library.[4][5][6][7]
Many classrooms, offices, the gymnasium, and a weight room were saved by firefighters from the Glide Volunteer Fire department and other nearby companies.[5] The school district was already replacing or rehabilitating some of the areas to have classrooms ready for the Fall 2008 term, which began in September.[5] The fire was believed to be caused by a plumber's torch in a classroom of the main building.[4][5]
[edit] Academics
In 2008, 78% of the school's seniors received their high school diploma. Of 73 students, 57 graduated, 12 dropped out, and 4 are still in high school.[8][9]
