Meet Our School Partners
Individual high schools in the Portland Metro region identify and recruit 20-24 students to attend the three-day retreat at Camp Collins in Gresham, Oregon. After the completion of the weekend experience, students attend four follow-up sessions at their schools. The program culminates in a graduation ceremony to acknowledge and celebrate the growth and accomplishments of the teens and adult volunteers.
Full Circle currently partners with five schools across three counties in Oregon and southwest Washington.

We help build confidence, responsibility and ownership in each individual.
Fir Ridge High School
PORTLAND, OREGON
Fir Ridge Campus is an alternative school campus of David Douglas High School. Alternative doesn’t mean less or easier at Fir Ridge–it means smaller and more supportive. Fir Ridge students are bright, capable leaders-in-training; they just happen to thrive in a smaller setting, or may need extra support to make up credits for various reasons. Fir Ridge students are expected to complete high quality work, keep attendance at 90% or higher and approach academic learning with a growth mindset. Fir Ridge offers students a smaller classroom environment, opportunities for additional credit and college/career counseling. When Fir Ridge students graduate, their level of learning and skill are as high as that of all DDHS students, and they should be fully prepared for success in college and career.
