Sutherlin High School

Tucked into the rolling hills of Douglas County between Roseburg and Roseburg's quieter neighbors, Sutherlin High School punches well above its weight for a small-town Oregon school, landing in the top 20% statewide with particularly strong English scores. Families drawn to a close-knit community where teachers actually know their students by name — and where Friday night football still means something — will feel right at home here. Sutherlin itself has that unhurried, small-city charm of the Umpqua Valley, with easy access to outdoor recreation and a genuine sense of community pride that carries over into the school.
