Alpha High School was a public alternative high school in Gresham, Oregon, United States. It specialized in school-to-work transition programs. [4] [5] It closed in 2015 due to reduced enrollment; declining demand resulted especially from improved programs at the Gresham-Barlow School District reducing student expulsions and the requirement for the alternative high school.
