Glencoe High School is a public secondary school in Hillsboro, Oregon that is part of the Hillsboro School District. It was founded in 1980 [1] to relieve overcrowding at Hillsboro High School caused by the city's rapid expansion. Glencoe High is the second oldest of the four high schools in the city. Glencoe is classified as a 6A school for activities and sports. It takes its name from the former community of Glencoe. In 2003, the school, along with all schools in the district, made national news when 17 days of classes were cut from the school year due to budget cuts to education in Oregon. [5] IN 2016, the graduation rate was 86%. [6]

The school received a silver ranking in U.S. News & World Report 's 2010 "America's Best High Schools" survey.

[11] Glencoe is a certified Project Lead The Way school. [12]

Glencoe has won state championships in track and field, men's and women's basketball, and football (twice, in 1986 and 1994).
