Academics

In 2008, 88% of the school's seniors received their high school diploma. Of 147 students, 129 graduated, 12 dropped out, 3 received a modified diploma, and 3 stayed in high school.[3][4]

The Clemens Grant

A scholarship fund set up for graduates of Philomath High School was the subject of the documentary, Clear Cut: The Story of Philomath, Oregon.

New construction

In 2011, a $20 million construction project was started to rebuild a classroom wing and athletic complex at the school.[5] Soon after, the plan was amended to rebuild most of the school itself, while retaining an reusing structure from the main and auxiliary gymnasiums.
