Tradition at Beaverton High School has always been important to the school. One of Beaverton High’s core values is Tradition Unites Us. For as long as Beaverton High School has been around, tradition has really brought the community together and is a big reason why Beaverton is so unique and different from most other high schools.
One of the many perks of Beaverton is the alumni giving back to the school and the tradition passed down through family members. We do a good job here at really getting the community and alumni involved to help support the school. Also, a lot of times you see the kids of alumni who end up going to Beaverton which is really special. My dad, Doug Johanson, is an alumnus, who graduated in 1986. He is now part of the Beaverton Success Fund along with many other alumni. For me, it’s really cool to see that my Dad is still involved in the school 30 years after he graduated, and to have all 3 of his kids go to Beaverton like he did.
At our school we also have Golden Grads. They often donate to programs and volunteer at our school. Every student and staff member is so grateful for all the work they do and thinks that they work shouldn’t go unnoticed. These Golden Grads. have been helping our school for years after years. It’s amazing to see that even after graduating from Beaverton High School, people still care about the community within it.
Overall, alumni are an important tradition here at Beaverton. They help bring the community closer together along with helping raise money and giving back. It is something special and we should not take them for granted.
