School Overview

Hawthorne Middle/High School, located in Pendleton, Oregon, serves as the district’s dedicated alternative education program. Designed to support students who may not thrive in a traditional comprehensive high school environment, the school focuses on providing a personalized approach to learning. By offering smaller class sizes and a more flexible curriculum, Hawthorne aims to re-engage students who need extra support, credit recovery, or a different pedagogical pace to successfully earn their diplomas.

The school emphasizes a supportive, community-focused culture where teachers and staff work closely with students to overcome academic and personal hurdles. Through its partnership with the Pendleton School District, Hawthorne provides a vital pathway for students to stay on track toward graduation while developing the skills necessary for post-secondary success. Whether assisting students with credit deficiencies or providing a structured path for those transitioning back from other settings, the school plays a key role in ensuring that all students within the district have access to a quality education tailored to their individual needs.
