Lake Oswego High School (LOHS) is a public high school in Lake Oswego, Oregon. LOHS is accredited through the Northwest Association of Schools and Colleges.
Lake Oswego High School first opened in 1950 as a six-year school. In 1971, it grew from a three-year to a standard four-year high school. In its history, the school and others in its district, such as Lakeridge High School, have received many honors for scholarship, leadership, and athletics on the local, state, and national level.
From its location and name, Lake Oswego High School adopted a nautical theme, with a nickname of "Lakers".
In the fall of 2005, construction was finished on a completely new campus. Built over the original school, the new building featured classrooms was equipped with built-in projectors and SMART boards. Other improvements included a state-of-the-art 500-seat theater and a building wing designated for art classes.
Several years later, mold and defects in the walls and roof of the school and gym, as a result of faulty construction, were detected. A string of lawsuits between the school district and parties involved with the construction ensued. The district eventually reached a $6.7 million settlement with its primary contractor, Robinson Construction Company, and several smaller settlements with sub-contractors. Repair work to fix the school's structural problems was completed in 2012.
In 2012, Bruce Plato announced his retirement after 11 years as principal of Lake Oswego High School. The School Board elected Assistant Principal, Cindy Schubert, as his replacement, effective in the 2013-2014 school year. The current principal is Rollin Dickinson, the former Assistant Principal at Lakeridge High School.
In 2016 the Lake Oswego softball team filed suit against the Lake Oswego School District for violating Title IX and taking part in gender discrimination. The suit alleged that both Lake Oswego High School and the Lake Oswego School District had failed to provide proper facilities for the softball team. The girls team played on a dirt field across the street at Lake Oswego Junior High School, while the boys played at a turf stadium at the high school. The baseball team was also provided access to a hitting barn, while the softball team used an old net in the second gym.
