The Portland Timbers and Portland Thorns FC are excited to collaborate with Portland Public Schools to offer all employees special discounted pricing for a selection of 2019 Portland Timbers and Portland Thorns games this season.

The new mascot and nickname for Franklin High School will be Lightning. The process to determine a new identity for the school was finalized Tuesday, when the Portland Public Schools Board of Education unanimously approved Superintendent Guadalupe Guerrero’s recommendation.

Dear PPS Community,

We have come to the end of what has been an ambitious and groundbreaking school year at the Portland Public Schools. I want to offer my heartfelt thanks to our amazing students, their supportive families, our dedicated teachers, hardworking support staff and dynamic school and district leaders who made it all work.
