    Nation's Largest CTE High School and Oregon's Most Expensive High School - Benson Polytechnic High School - Reopens!

    August 29, 2024 

    Nation's Biggest CTE High School opens!

    Portland, Oregon (KBPS) - Benson Tech is now the biggest CTE high school in the United States, and it's the most expensive high school in Oregon history. After three years of construction and a nine-figure budget, the brand new Benson Polytechnic High School campus has been completed and the first students to use the facility were greeted by teachers and staff this week. "CTE" or Career Technical Education, is a learning structure that allows students to get hands-on education with industry standard equipment, preparing them for their careers and college after high school. The new construction includes a large open space where students can eat lunch, classrooms with up-to-date industry standard technology, and some features from the old Benson building too. Historic places like the original entrance, gym, and auditorium have been preserved to maintain their history while also updating the building's infrastructure for seismic retrofitting and expanding the campus capacity. The public is invited to come see and tour the newly-modernized Benson Polytechnic High School during a Grand Opening Ceremony on Saturday Sept. 14th from 10a-2p. Benson also invites the public to it's big annual showcase called Tech Show, which is scheduled for April 17th and 18th, 2025 in the evening. - This story was produced by the KBPS Student Staff.
