RALEIGH HILLS REBUILD

Update April 5: As part of the rebuild project, school administrators will be looking for input from students, parents/guardians and staff about what Raleigh Hills represents to the community now and in the future. The reimagining will include a new mission statement and possibly a new mascot and new school colors, depending on community feedback.

Original Project: Raleigh Hills Elementary School dates back to 1927, making it the second oldest school in the district. The steam pipes are failing, the roof is in poor condition and the sanitary waste system is not adequate for the size of the school. In addition, much of the building does not meet current seismic standards and is at risk of partial or full collapse in the event of an earthquake. The new building will address all of those issues.

The rebuild is being funded through the 2014 and 2022 Bond. The new school will be home to pre-K through 5th grade classes. Once rebuilt, it will offer a more spacious, functional and modern educational environment. Demolition is scheduled to start in summer 2024, and the rebuilt school will open in fall 2026. During the rebuild, students will attend Greenway Elementary School.

Periodically, we'll be posting below to get your feedback on design decisions. Please follow this project (top of page, right side), so you're alerted to those opportunities.

What happened during Raleigh Hills Elementary School’s community meeting in October 2022? Below, you’ll find a recap regarding the school’s rebuild.
What was the meeting about?
The meeting was part of the Neighborhood Land Use process. BSD works with the city of Beaverton to achieve the community’s planning and environmental goals.
Where is the district in the process?
BSD is currently in the site and building design phase. At the meeting, community members had a chance to see renderings and floor plans and ask questions about the project.
How has BSD worked with the community for this project?
There have been several District Advisory Committee workshops and multiple outreach meetings, both virtual and in-person. The District has sent surveys to community members through ParentSquare and hosted a teacher and staff open house. The design team has also spent time shadowing Raleigh Hills teachers for a better understanding of how staff and students use their current space.
How is the rebuild of Raleigh Hills being funded?
The rebuild is being funded through the 2014 and 2022 Bond. The new building will be home to pre-K through 5th grade classes. Once rebuilt, it will offer a more spacious, functional and modern educational environment.
What are the next steps?
The District is working with the City of Beaverton on applications addressing site and building design, building height and tree removal and planting. The application process runs from about November 2022 to March 2023. Beaverton’s Planning Commission will review the applications and then hold a public hearing, giving the community an opportunity to weigh in.
