History

Adrienne Nelson High School was proposed to relieve ongoing crowding issues at Clackamas High School in a $523 million bond in 2016. [3] The building itself was built in 2010 as a middle school with the intentions of eventually turning it into a high school. [4] In 2019, renovations to the school began for it to better fit a high school environment.

The renovations included 16 classrooms, a performing arts center, athletics center, track and field, tennis courts, and a health center. ANHS opened for students in September of 2021 after COVID-19 restrictions were lifted.

Rock Creek Middle School, the middle school that previously occupied the building, relocated to the previous site of Sunrise Middle School (located on the eastern part of the campus of Clackamas High School), which had been closed to create extra classroom space at the high school.

Nelson High School was named after Adrienne Nelson, the first African American woman to serve in the U.S. District Court for the District of Oregon. [5] [6] [7]

In 2022, 90% of the students received a high school diploma. Of 80 students, 78 graduated, and 2 dropped out. [8]
