Caldera High School (CHS) is a public high school located in Bend, Oregon. Caldera is the newest school opened in the Bend-La Pine School District.
History[edit]
In November 2017, a $268.3 million bond was passed to relieve overcrowding and improve Bend-La Pine high schools. Construction started in mid-2019 and finished in 2021. The school opened only to freshmen and sophomores for the 2021–2022 school year.[3][4]
Naming of the high school[edit]
Bend-La Pine advisory committee proposed the high school be named "Robert D. Maxwell High School." Maxwell was a former teacher and the nation's oldest living Medal of Honor recipient, who died in 2019. However, it was decided that the school be named "Caldera High School" in reference to the Newberry National Volcanic Monument and the geologic past and present of Central Oregon.[5]
Athletics[edit]
Caldera High School competes in the OSAA 5A-4 Intermountain Conference.[1]
Caldera High School athletic teams have yet to win a state championship. However the Boys Varsity football team made the OSAA playoffs in the 2023-24 season[6]
