Student Involvement

Student Equity Participation

At Tigard High School, each and every student has an opportunity to participate in equity work that builds toward making our school a better, more welcoming place for all students.

THS offers several affinity group options for students, including multicultural and interest-based groups. The following groups are just some of the options made available to students, along with the contact information for the faculty advisor for each should you want to learn more or get involved:

The goal of our affinity groups and our student equity work in general is to give students space and supports to become active members within a community to make our school a better place for all. Many of these groups listed organize school and community events, collaborate with peers and staff, and work to advocate for themselves and others.
