Sunset High School is a public high school in Beaverton, Oregon, United States. The school currently offers the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme. It opened in 1959 and is the second-oldest of eight high schools in the Beaverton School District. Sunset's mascot is the Apollos.
The school opened at the beginning of January 1959, initially with freshman and sophomore students only, adding juniors in the fall and, starting in September 1960, its first senior class.Senator Robert F. Kennedy spoke at a student-organized Democratic Convention held at Sunset High School on May 17, 1968, less than three weeks before his assassination on June 5.
Sunset High School is located in the predominantly unincorporated area known as Cedar Mill. Although it has always had a Portland street address, it has never actually been within the city of Portland proper. From 1959 until 1999, the school property was unincorporated land in Washington County, but in 1999 the Sunset High School grounds (including the adjacent swimming pool) were annexed by the city of Beaverton. Nevertheless, as of 2015 the school's mailing address remains a "Portland" address, as is the case for all of Cedar Mill.
As of 2013-14, 59% of students are white, 17% Hispanic or Latino, 15% Asian or Pacific Islander, 2% African American, 1% American Indian, and 7% other. The 2013-14 enrollment was 1,954. The Oregon Report Card overall rating was Level 4.
