Current junior, I've been firmly considering going the military high school route. Can anyone suggest some military high schools in Oregon?
Sure, there are a few options in Oregon when it comes to military-style education. However, it's important to note that many of these programs are not traditional "high schools" in the sense of offering a full 4-year educational program; instead, they often serve as academies or leadership programs.
One such program is the Oregon National Guard Youth Challenge Program. This is a 22-month alternative education program which helps students between 16 and 18 who are at risk of not finishing high school. It combines academics with physical fitness, leadership, and life skills training. Students in this program can earn their GED or high school diploma.
There's also the Delphian School, a boarding school in Sheridan with a heavy emphasis on leadership and community service. While not explicitly a military school, the structure and curriculum might serve those interested in a military career well.
Lastly, you can consider military boarding schools in other states given there are not many military high schools in Oregon. Many military focused schools offer comprehensive services for out-of-state students including dorms, daily meals, and weekend activities to ensure they remain engaged and supported. If that seems at all viable, it would increase your options.
Remember to research and visit (if possible) these schools to ensure they would be a good fit for both your personal and academic goals.
