Mission Statement:
South Eugene High School strives to be a caring and supportive community that actively participates with students as they grow and develop both as individuals and life-long learners in an increasingly complex world.
Program Description:
South Eugene is a well established and highly regarded high school serving approximately 1,650 students in grades 9–12. Students and staff take great pride in the sheer number of exceptional opportunities available at our open-campus school. Our rigorous and vibrant curriculum includes advanced science and math courses, strong literature offerings, relevant experiences in the social studies, and a variety of fine, applied, and performing arts, in addition to health and physical education classes. Our campus is located near the University of Oregon and Lane Community College, which provides easy access to additional academic opportunities. SEHS students also participate in a multitude of clubs and a full athletic program at the 6A level.
School Highlights:
  • Our reputation for academic excellence includes a great variety of Advanced Placement courses in math, science, English, social studies, and foreign languages for which SEHS is recognized state-wide and nationally
  • Successful athletic program competing at the top 6A level; plus a student clubs program of approximately 50 interest-based groups ranging from sports to chess to dance to multicultural issues to robotics and more
  • Outstanding Fine, Applied, and Performing Arts programs. Students interested in music and theater thrive at South, as do those interested in fine arts, culinary arts, advanced computer skills, and business/marketing
  • Award-winning Counseling and Career Center; approximately 65% of SEHS graduates go on to four-year universities and another 20% go on to two-year colleges
  • SAT, ACT, and OSA test scores well above state and national averages; these have resulted in SEHS being one of few high schools to consistently receive an annual rating of "Exceptional" on the Oregon School Report Card
School Improvement Goals:
  • Close the Achievement Gap by Increasing the Success of Low Performing Students; strategies include academic support classes, innovative math courses designed to accelerate achievement, and other specialized courses
  • Increase the Success Rate of 9th Grade Students; strategies include an 8th/9th grade "Summer Bridge" program and a daily Advisory class for many of our freshmen
  • Develop a Strong School Community and Enhanced Student-Staff Relationships; strategies include a focus on multi-cultural issues and expanded opportunities for students and staff to build positive relationships
