'''Clackamas High School''' ('''CHS''') is a [[public high school]] located in [[Clackamas, Oregon|Clackamas]], [[Oregon]]. It is the second oldest of the four high schools in the [[North Clackamas School District]].
== History ==
Clackamas High School itself was established in 1957 at a building in South [[Milwaukie, Oregon]]. Though, with its ever-growing attendance area of Happy Valley, CHS outgrew its small building. In 2002, the larger, modernized building was opened<ref>{{Cite news |last=Sack |first=Joetta L. |date=2002-11-06 |title=Building Harmony |url=https://www.edweek.org/leadership/building-harmony/2002/11 |access-date=2024-05-07 |work=Education Week |language=en |issn=0277-4232}}</ref> and the old building was converted into a middle school.<ref>{{cite web |title=Archived copy |url=http://www.nclack.k12.or.us/18282021122526857/lib/18282021122526857/ACMS_school_profile_08-09.pdf |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110728095122/http://www.nclack.k12.or.us/18282021122526857/lib/18282021122526857/ACMS_school_profile_08-09.pdf |archivedate=2011-07-28 |accessdate=2009-05-14}}</ref> This building was also next to the (now closed) Sunrise Middle School, which was absorbed and became an extra building after its closure in 2011.
Starting in the early-mid 2010s, families began to make gripes about overcrowding at CHS. The inclusion of the east campus building helped, but with Happy Valley's rapid expansion, the school had well over 2,000 students, when the building only reasonably had the capacity for 1,800. In 2016, a bond was passed that provided the money needed for a new high school. In 2019, the construction of this school begun, converting a local middle school to a high school.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Rock Creek Middle School to be new high school in 2016 bond |url=https://resources.finalsite.net/images/v1666875631/nclackk12orus/h8aa8hlmri9zahz950gu/clackamas-rock_creek_middle_to_fourth_high_august-sos.pdf}}</ref>
In 2021, construction on [[Adrienne C. Nelson High School]] completed. Half of Clackamas High School's students were transferred to this school. The two schools became [[Rivalry (sports)|athletic rivals]]. Following this construction, the east campus building was converted back into a middle school.
Along with the construction of the new high school, renovations were made to Clackamas High School. This redid some life skills classrooms in the building, as well as security additions, some improvements to the football field, and the addition of a brand new [[School-based health centers|health center.]] The Clackamas High School SBHC provides cost-free checkups, mental healthcare, and services like dentistry and therapy.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Student Based Health Services - Clackamas High School |url=https://chs.nclack.k12.or.us/resources/student-based-heatlh-services-clone |access-date=2024-05-07 |website=chs.nclack.k12.or.us |language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Clackamas High School - North Clackamas School District |url=https://www.nclack.k12.or.us/about-ncsd/2016-capital-construction-bond/projects/clackamas-high-school |access-date=2024-05-07 |website=www.nclack.k12.or.us |language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Bond Summary |url=https://resources.finalsite.net/images/v1680560448/nclackk12orus/l7tu8rwjlzfn9zey1j4r/2016_Bond_REV_ENGLISH1.pdf}}</ref>
On November 2, 2023 at 9:00am, a bomb threat was made to the school through an anonymous confession [[Instagram]] page. Both Clackamas High and Rock Creek Middle were evacuated following these threats. These threats were later proven to be jokes and classes resumed at around 10:30am.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Sheriff’s Office Investigates Threat to Clackamas High School {{!}} Clackamas County |url=https://www.clackamas.us/sheriff/2023-11-02-Clackamas-High-School-Threat |access-date=2024-05-07 |website=www.clackamas.us}}</ref>[[Image:Clackamas Cav.jpg|thumb|Clackamas Cavaliers logo|200px]]
==Building and campus==
Clackamas High School campus lies on {{convert|69|acre}} with a small [[wetland]] nearby. The building itself has {{convert|269354|sqft|m2|abbr=}} of floor space and is much larger than the older school.<!-- how much larger? --> It has four classroom hallways on two floors, a commons area, an arts wing, and an athletic wing, centered on an administrative ring in the middle of the school.
The classroom hallways are mostly on the north end of the school with 100 and 200 halls on the east side, and 300 and
The arts wing (or 600 hall) of the school is The athletic wing contains a large gym, a smaller upper gym, locker rooms, a wrestling room, and a weight training room. The administrative ring, located in the center of the school, contains the main office, the bookkeeper's office, the attendance office, the student management office, the schools' career and vocation center, the athletic office, and the counseling office, all To the east of the building is a Rock Creek Middle School, connected by a covered walkway. While the building was originally constructed in 1989 as a middle school, it was shut down in 2009 to be instead used for extra classroom space at CHS. But the previous building for RCMS was being converted to [[Adrienne C. Nelson High School]] and needed a new location, so it was an easy decision to turn the building back into a middle school.
This building has served as a model for other high schools and has been designated a [[green building]]. Clackamas High School was built in 2002 to a design by Portland's [[Boora Architects]] and was the first high school in the country to be certified [[Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design|LEED]] Silver.<ref>[http://www.djc.com/news/co/11193240.html DJC.COM: ‘I wish I could go to a school just like this’, provided by Seattle Daily Journal of Commerce Newspaper<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref><ref>[http://www.oregonlive.com/washingtoncounty/index.ssf/2009/07/oregon_schools_its_not_easy_or.html The Oregonian: Oregon schools: It's not easy, or cheap, being green] "The district already has an officially certified school.
