Reedsport Community Charter School is a public school in Reedsport, Oregon, United States. It serves middle- and high school-aged students.
The school has roots in Reedsport Union High School, established in 1921.
History
[edit | edit source]According to a 1959 newspaper history, the first dedicated high school in the Lower Umpqua region of Oregon's south coast was established in Gardinier in 1913 in a house owned by the Gardiner Lumber Company.[5] The first graduating class came in 1918, when five local students received their high school diplomas.[5] In Reedsport, high school classes were held in a tent in 1911, and as part of a one room schoolhouse starting in 1912.[5]
With the coming of the railroad the isolated community grew, with 60 students packing the one-room schoolhouse in 1918.[5] The growth in enrollment required the hiring of a second teacher, and in 1919 a four room school building was constructed, with one of these rooms designated for high school use.[5]
This period of community growth continued during the years after World War I. In 1921 the Reedsport Union High School district was formed as part of process of establishing a permanent dedicated high school building.[5] Construction was begun and finished in time for the new high school to graduate its first nine students in June 1922.[5] A period of consolidation followed, with small schools such as Scottsburg discontinuing their high school program and sending students to Reedsport.[5]
A new building for Reedsport High School was constructed in 1949, funded by a $416,000 bond issue.[5] It was subsequently expanded, with four more classrooms added in 1955.[6] By that juncture Reedsport Union had grown to the point that 70 diplomas were awarded to its class of 1955.[7]

[edit | edit source]The school was formerly named the Reedsport Junior/Senior High School, but became a public charter school in February 2010.[8] The school was remodeled just prior to the renaming.[9]
