Beaverton High School graduates have gone on to lead extraordinary lives and had a positive impact on the local, national and international community. They’ve earned Olympic gold medals, founded major corporations, won awards in the arts and served their country in the armed forces and in government. They, as well as the teachers, coaches and staff who helped shape their young lives, will receive the honor they are due within the new Hall of Achievement.

Their impact could have been achieved while associated with BHS, or long after they left the school.
The goal of the Hall is to recognize their contributions and to foster pride within the current generation of students and inspire them to achieve greatness in their own lives.
