    It's that time of year.  You should be hearing from your student's advisor very soon.  If you haven't, please reach out to us.  503-916-6486  

    We will help you connect with your student's advisor to set up an appointment.

    Classes will not be in session during conference week (11/25 - 11/29).  Students should check in with teachers and prepare any work they are able to take home if they need to "catch up" on any assignments.

    Also, watch for our new Alliance High School website.   We have things in motion and hope to have all our information in one easy to navigate location.

  • Dear Alliance High School Community,

     

    I am honored and excited to introduce myself as the interim principal at Alliance High School. I am thrilled to be joining the dedicated staff and students of this unique learning community for the remainder of this school year and look forward to supporting the good work that is already going on in this beautiful new building.

     

    My name is Mike Rowell, and I have worked as a teacher and administrator with Portland Public Schools for the past 33 years. I retired from PPS as the principal at Lane Middle School, and have since supported a number of schools as an interim or substitute administrator, including Metropolitan Learning Center, Ockley Green Middle School and Roosevelt High School.


    I am passionate about ensuring that all students, especially those who identify as members of historically underserved communities, receive the educational service, respect and sense of inclusion that they need and deserve to thrive and meet their personal goals. I firmly believe that open communication and collaboration are essential to student success, and I encourage parents and guardians to both actively engage in their student’s education and be in touch with the school on a regular basis. I will begin sending a regular community newsletter starting next week in order to keep you up to date on the activities and opportunities happening at Alliance. Please feel free to contact me if you have questions, concerns, or just want to introduce yourself. You can reach me via email at mrowell@pps.net and in the main office at (503) 916-6486.

     

     

     

    Students at Alliance REP our community:

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

  • Two PPS Educators Receive Presidential Honor

    1/17/2025

    We’re thrilled to announce that two PPS teachers were recently awarded the prestigious Presidential Award for Excellence in Mathematics and Science Teaching (PAEMST). 

    Krishnan Ranjani,  a teacher of advanced mathematics and Career and Technical Education (CTE) computer systems at Lincoln High School and Nick Nohner, a computer sciences and data sciences teacher at Ida B. Wells High School, were both selected for the honor which is administered by the National Science Foundation (NSF) on behalf of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy. The award recognizes outstanding educators for their contributions to the teaching and learning of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.

    Each awardee will receive a certificate signed by President Joe Biden and a $10,000 award from NSF. Awardees will also travel to Washington, D.C., for an awards ceremony at a future date. 

    Congratulations to these two exceptional teachers!

  • Join Us for a Powerful Movie Night!

    1/10/2025

    PPS is hosting a series of events that focus on belonging, equity and inclusive practices where we will screen powerful, award-winning documentaries that will challenge each of us to consider what is possible in the systems we create for our children with disabilities.

    As part of this series, we will be holding a free screening of "Forget Me Not” on Thursday, January 16th at 6:30 PM at Franklin High School.

    "Forget Me Not" is a moving story about 3-year-old Emilio whose family finds itself embroiled in a challenge all too common for children with disabilities: that of securing the right to an inclusive education. Filmmaker Olivier and his wife, Hilda, turn the camera on themselves and their child as they navigate an often frustrating system on their way toward ensuring that their son gets the education he needs and deserves.

    Staff, families, and community members are all invited. Parking is free and light refreshment will be provided. We hope to see you there!
