Tigard-Tualatin School District

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Tigard-Tualatin School District, #23J, is a school district serving part of the suburban Portland metropolitan area in Oregon including the cities of Tigard and Tualatin. From its inception until 1992, the district operated only one "senior" high school, Tigard High, which covered grades 10-12. Fowler and Twality Junior High Schools covered grades 7-9. In 1992, a second high school, Tualatin High, was opened, and the district took the opportunity to switch to a middle school system in which the two high schools would cover grades 9-12, the existing junior high schools would change to middle schools covering grades 6-8, and the elementary schools would cover grades K-5. A third middle school, Hazelbrook, was also added in 1992.

When Tualatin High opened, new school attendance boundaries were drawn; most students at Twality would attend Tualatin High and most students at Fowler would attend Tigard High. Students living in certain areas were given the option of attending either high school.
