    Enrolling at Alliance

    Our Enrollment Process

    Outlined below are the steps that all families need to take in order to enroll a student at Alliance High School:

    Family attends an information session (schedule and link below) 

    1. Family fills out an interest form during the information session. 
    2. Alliance team reviews student interest forms, educational histories including credits earned, behaviors, etc.
      • At this point, families are notified if their student has been accepted. 
    3. If necessary, Alliance requests IEP records and reviews them to ensure that we can appropriately serve the student.
      • If we are not able to legally serve an IEP then a placement meeting will be held to determine the appropriate next steps. 
    4. A wait list is created if we have greater demand than space available.

Principal's
Message

  • Dear Alliance High School Community,

     

    It has been wonderful to meet our new students as they join our community at the beginning of term 5! It has been great to feel our new building bustling with increased activity.

     

    It is also exciting to witness all of the creative offerings that students are experiencing. Students learn and apply design principles in the Skateboard Design Project starting this term, earn dual CTE and English credit through the Tercel Auto Restoration Project, and continue the collaboration with Wind and Oar Boat school, which allows students to earn credit in several academic areas while building a boat. Students will study the growth of plants using hydroponic methods, experiment with the writing of speculative fiction with published author Dey Rivers as part of our writers in residence program and earn Chemistry and CTE credit in the Science of Photography course. Our staff of dedicated and highly skilled teachers continue to explore ways to create engaging and dynamic learning opportunities for our students.

     

    I’ve enjoyed meeting a number of families as I have settled into my work at Alliance High School. Please remember to be in touch if you have any questions, concerns, or would like to just say hello. You can reach me through the school at (503)916-6486 or via email at mrowell@pps.net.

     

     

     

    Students at Alliance REP our community:

    Our Students are Respectful, Engaged, and Present above all else.

  • Two PPS Educators Named OnPoint Educators of the Year

    Two exceptional PPS educators, Ricardo Barber and Hang Jones, were recently named OnPoint Educators of the Year for 2025.

    As part of this prestigious honor, both teachers will have their rent or mortgage paid for an entire year, and their schools also receive a $2,500 donation. 

    Ricardo Barber teaches third grade at Faubion, and Hang Jones serves as a social worker at Marysville Elementary. 

    The OnPoint Prize for Excellence in Education celebrates educators who embrace innovative teaching techniques that ignite enthusiasm in their students. 

    Congratulations to Ricardo Barber and Hang Jones! And thank you both for everything you do to make a difference in the lives our students.

  • Student Filmmakers Showcase Their Monster Talent

    The assignment their teacher gave them was simple – make a short film that begins with a phone call and ends with someone hanging up. Benson first-year students Dylan Martinez-Torres and Dariel Soriano Zamora ran it all the way to a small city populated by two very big and rather iconic monsters – Godzilla and Hedora.

    The result, Sorry, Wrong Number, is one of the more than 90 films entered into the annual Best of PPS Film Festival. The festival is a celebration of exceptional student filmmaking that includes a showcase at the historic Hollywood Theatre. 

    The fourth annual installment of the festival took place on May 21 and included a screening of 13 standout films. The films came from all over PPS and ran the gamut from Dylan and Dariel’s monster short to documentaries, film noir, and broadcast journalism.

  • Students Dance Their Hearts Out at This Year's Earthstock

    Earthstock 2025 was a huge success!

    Each year, special education students from across the region gather at Portland's Crystal Ballroom for a truly unique and uniquely joyful high school dance. 

    Earthstock began in 1992 at the request of a young student who was confined to a wheelchair and was disappointed he couldn’t attend the high school dances because of transportation issues. There were 60 kids at the first event. Earthstock now entertains more than 700 students, staff and volunteers, and is rapidly becoming one the largest events of its kind in the country.
