Bend Senior High School is the oldest high school located in Bend, Oregon, United States. The school opened 120 years ago, in 1904, but did not graduate its first class of seniors (three students) until 1909. Old Bend High School, the original building, was located downtown on Bond Street, where the Bend-La Pine School District office now stands. The school's mascot is a lava bear.
In 2008, 80% of the school's seniors received a high school diploma. Of 406 students, 325 graduated, 50 dropped out, 12 received a modified diploma, and 19 were still in high school in 2009.[6][7]
