Creekside Community High School

The Durham Center, located in Tigard, Oregon, is a specialized educational facility operated by the Tigard-Tualatin School District. Rather than serving as a traditional K-12 school, the center functions as a hub for alternative learning, adult education, and specific district support programs. Its primary mission is to provide flexible, personalized educational pathways for students who may not thrive in a conventional classroom setting, as well as opportunities for adult learners to pursue GED attainment and English language acquisition.

The center is designed to be inclusive and resource-oriented, bridging the gap between district-wide needs and student success. By offering a different environment—often characterized by smaller class sizes, vocational training options, and a focus on social-emotional growth—the Durham Center empowers students to overcome academic barriers and work toward high school graduation or post-secondary readiness. It serves as a vital component of the district's commitment to ensuring that every student, regardless of their circumstances, has access to the support and curriculum necessary to achieve their educational goals.
