History

Faith Bible Christian School was founded in 1976 as part of the Faith Bible Church. [3] The school later became a nondenominational Christian school. [3] The school offered classes from preschool through twelfth grade. [4] The lower grades are held on a campus in Aloha, with high school classes on the Hillsboro campus along the Tualatin Valley Highway. [5] The high school moved to its present location in 1996. [6] Faith Bible High School became accredited by the Northwest Association of Accredited Schools (NAAS) in 2000. [1]

In February 2001, a student at the high school received a threat via AOL Instant Messenger, threatening to kill the student at school. [7] Due to the threat, the school canceled classes for the day. [7] Later police determined the incident was partly a hoax as the student knew the person making the threats, and the two were in competition with each other for the affections of a girl. [8] Enrollment at the school at that time was about 150, [9] and stood at 148 in 2007. [1] In 2009, the school was a Picturing America Award recipient. [10] The school moved to the AmberGlen area of northeast Hillsboro in April 2018. [11]

Academics

Faith Bible High School is a member of the Association of Christian Schools International and has grades nine through twelve at the coeducational school. [12] The school has a staff of 12 on the 3-acre (1.2 ha) campus, and holds classes 180 days per year. [1] [12] The campus consists of four modular buildings and one main building, which together house a gymnasium, media center (library), computer lab, and classrooms. [5] As of 2018, the school had 499 students, of which twelfth grade was the largest class with 59 students, while second grade was the smallest with 23 students. [12] Demographically, there were 417 white students, 22 Asian students, 15 Hispanic students, and 13 Black students in the student body. [12]

The school promotes a family atmosphere on the campus. [13] The school also offers the Faces of Faith drama group that presents plays for the community at large. [14] The group is for students that are unable to attend the school’s drama classes. [14] The school also participates in the National Honor Society, a program that recognizes students with superior academic achievement. [15]
