Foundation Highlight: Can & Bottle Recycling Ribbon Cutting

We were grateful to join a special community celebration recognizing the Lake Oswego Schools Foundation as the featured nonprofit through New Seasons's Cans for Kids program with Oregon Beverage Recycling Cooperative.

The Foundation was honored to be joined by local and state leaders, along with OBRC and New Seasons Market, for brief remarks, followed by a Bottle Drop Blue Bag scan-in benefiting our schools.

Thank you to everyone who participated and helped support Lake Oswego students.

Lake Oswego Achieves Highest Graduation Rates

Lake Oswego School District is proud to celebrate one of the highest graduation rates in Oregon for the class of 2025. Lake Oswego High School and Lakeridge High School achieved a combined graduation rate of 97.1%; well above the statewide four-year average of 83%.

Earning a high school diploma is one of the most meaningful milestones we can support as a community. This achievement reflects the our district's deep commitment to ensuring every student graduates prepared for college, career, and life beyond high school.

Congratulations to the Class of 2025, and thank you to the families, educators, staff, and community members whose commitment and generosity help make outcomes like this possible every year.
