Meet Jonathan Valdez, an 8th grader from Meadow Park Middle School. Jonathan has two siblings, an older brother, Mario Valdez, who is a sophomore here at Beaverton, and a younger sister. Jonathan has been practicing Jiu-Jitsu for six years; he says he really enjoys it because it gives him something to do after school. One of Jonathan’s pet peeves is when people chew their gum really loudly. We are so excited to see you at Beaverton, Jonathan!

Mr. Furman is the new Vice Principal at Beaverton High. Before moving to BHS, Mr. Furman was an Assistant Principal at Meadow Park Middle School. When asked about his favorite things about BHS so far, he says, “The staff and students.”
When Mr. Furman first arrived at BHS, he was nervous about how the staff would react to him as a new administrator; however, he has come to realize that the staff at Beaverton are extremely positive and supportive, two attributes that he really appreciates.
When it comes to the students of BHS, Mr. Furman has been very impressed by the kindness and positivity. Outside of school, he spends time with his wife and 2-year-old daughter, in addition to pursuing a doctorate degree in education at Lewis and Clark University. Mr. Furman is excited to be at BHS!
