Terra Nova High School Terra Nova High School is the newest high school in the Beaverton School District (BSD). Enrollment for the 2009-2010 school year is 60 students in 9th to 12th grade and is expected to grow each year, but will not exceed 160 students. Terra Nova grew out of the spirit of two programs previously offered by the Northwest Regional Education Service District.[1]: the Cascade Education Corps and the Outdoor Leadership Program. These outdoor, environmental education programs gave students training and hands-on experience in leadership, teaching, and environmental issues. This real world learning provided students with an opportunity to develop personal, team building and problem solving skills.
[edit] Terra Nova Community Farm
The school has a community supported agriculture program, operating a farm on the school grounds.[2][3]
