About
Cedar Park Middle School, home of the Timberwolves, is located in unincorporated Washington County in the Cedar Hills/Commonwealth neighborhood.
History
Cedar Park was the Beaverton School District's fourth intermediate school. Construction was underway in 1965, but was not complete for the 1965-1966 school year. Undeterred by that minor detail, Cedar Park opened its doors in September 1965 anyway, with seventh graders only. Classes were held in the Merle Davies building that first year, with a total enrollment of 343.
The new building was completed and opened to seventh, eighth and ninth graders in September 1966. With the opening of Cedar Park in 1966, the Beaverton School District completed its transition to the 6-3-3 grade configuration (grades 1-6 at elementary, 7-9 at intermediate/junior high and 10-12 at high school) for its schools. In 1994, like the other intermediate/junior high schools, Cedar Park became a middle school. The grades attending middle schools are sixth, seventh and eighth. This brought Beaverton School District to its current grade configuration of 5-3-4.* Additional Structural History Many other major construction projects have been completed since the original building was finished. In 1974, a large roof was built over one of the several courtyards to provide additional Library space. Storage space at the end of A-hall was converted into two classrooms. An Industrial Arts wing was built to house the wood and metal shops. Six portable classrooms have also been added near the rear of the building. In the summer of 2002, the entire building was re-plumbed and painted, the main office and kitchen were remodeled and the Industrial Arts wing was converted into 4 classrooms. In the summer of 2005, two classrooms in the former Industrial Arts wing were re-wired to house 2 computer labs. In the summer of 2007, student restrooms were remodeled, the Lower Gym was repainted, the Fitness Center received a new floor and the first phase of our outdoor patio project was completed. During the 2018-2019 school year, the whole school interior was repainted to reflect the updated school colors: Navy Blue and Orange.
CPMS NOW
Cedar Park continues to evolve as an innovative middle school. As a part of the Future Ready Grant, all students will received 1:1 technology in 2017, this was an 8-year grant providing computers to students to use in school and at home. Cedar Park is an AVID school, promoting educational growth and college preparedness. Cedar Park also participates in the Middle Years Program (MYP) for International Baccalaureate (IB) which continues to increase the learning of the Cedar Park Timberwolves.
