Grant High School Celebrates 100 Years!

Happy 100th Birthday to Grant High School!! This week was the school's centennial celebration.

There were dozens of alumni and current students on hand and the Royal Rosarians planted a special rose to commemorate the occasion.

The 4th annual all PPS summer graduation took place last week at McDaniel High School. Students who participated in the Evening and Summer Scholars programs got to walk the stage and get their diploma.

Save the Date: Second Annual Innovation Summit

We are thrilled to announce the Second Annual Innovation Summit, hosted by the Innovation Studio, on January 28. Building on the success of our first event, this summit continues our mission as the district's official problem-solving accelerator.

Our goal is to create an inspiring and supportive environment where creativity thrives, and innovative projects take flight. This year, we’re expanding our reach, engaging more innovators, and driving meaningful change across our community.

No Cost Healthcare Available to PPS Students

Student Health Centers at Cleveland, Franklin, Jefferson, McDaniel and Roosevelt high schools are open now for health services. The health centers offer comprehensive primary and mental health care services to all Multnomah County youth ages 5-18. There are no out-of-pocket costs.

We want and need to be able to reach you. Remind will be the district’s primary communication tool going forward.
