Glencoe High School is a public secondary school in Hillsboro, Oregon that is part of the Hillsboro School District. It was founded in 1980[1] to help control the growing density of Hillsboro High School due to the city's rapid expansion, and is the second oldest of the four high schools in the city. Glencoe is classified as a 6A school for activities and sports. It takes its name from the former community of Glencoe, which lends its name to a road of the same name, where the school is located. In 2003, the school, along with all schools in the district, made national news when 17 days of classes were cut from the school year which allowed students to be out in May due to budget cuts to education in Oregon.[4] As of 2016, the graduation rate was 86%.[5]

Mascot


Glencoe's team name is the Crimson Tide. The official Crimson Tide mascot is known as the Tide Guy, and is portrayed as an angry wave with fists. The Tide Guy is on nearly all official school mailings, and is often placed in the yearbook as if he were a student.



Captain Crimson


The official mascot at football games, assemblies, and selected other events is Captain Crimson.


The original Captain Crimson was adopted in the early beginnings of Glencoe High School, because the Tide Guy would have proved difficult to accurately portray in costume form. The Captain Crimson uniform consisted of spandex tights, a spandex long-sleeved shirt with "Captain Crimson" emblazoned on the front, a pair of crimson basketball shorts, a crimson and black cape, and large prosthetic muscles. The position was ceremoniously handed down through student council to an unusually enthusiastic incoming senior.


The new Captain Crimson consists of a crimson muscle suit, black boots, a black cape with the Glencoe "G" emblazoned on the center, and a headpiece with crimson eyes.



Academics


In 2008, 85% of the school's seniors received a high school diploma. Of 384 students, 328 graduated, 34 dropped out, five received a modified diploma, and 17 were still in high school the following year.[6][7]


The school received a silver ranking in U.S. News & World Report's 2010 "America's Best High Schools" survey.[8][9] For the second year in a row, Glencoe was recognized by the State of Oregon on the Oregon Report Card as "Exceptional"; one of six large high schools in the state to receive that recognition.[10] Glencoe is a certified Project Lead The Way school.[11]


The school offers eleven Advanced Placement classes and three second languages, and has a full metal/welding and woods curriculum. Glencoe's engineering courses are part of the nationally renowned Project Lead The Way (PLTW) and are housed in a lab made possible by grants from Intel. The Visual and Performing Arts program is recognized for its marching band, choral work, drama productions, sculpture and photography.



Athletics


Glencoe has won state championships in track and field, men's and women's basketball, and football (twice, in 1986 and 1994). In 2018 the school moved from the 6A-2 Metro League to the 6A-3 Pacific Conference. In the 2007–08 season Glencoe won its first state championship in soccer. Its cross-town rival has been Hillsboro High School; however, Hilhi currently plays in the 5A-1 Northwest Oregon Conference. Since opening, the school has used the off-campus Hare Field for football games.[12]


The school has been state champions in the following sports in the following years:



  • 2010 - 5A softball

  • 2007 - 5A boys' soccer[13]

  • 1994 - 4A football[14]

  • 1990 - 4A girls' basketball

Student life


Students routinely criticize the campus for its prison-like structure, having little natural light and tangerine-colored lockers. The school is also criticized for its inconsistent room numbering and lack of clock synchronization.



Extracurricular offerings


Glencoe is recognized for its dance team, known as the Tidettes. The team has won eleven state championships since 1987 (1987, 1988, 1989, 1990, 1995, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2002, 2003, 2004) competing in either the Show or Dance/Drill Division at the Oregon Dance and Drill State Championships. The Tidettes also placed 2nd at State in 1991, 1992, 1997, and 2017; 3rd in 2001; 4th in 1993, 1996, 2006, and 2008; and 5th in 1994, 2005, 2007, and 2013.

Quarantine

For other uses, see Quarantine (disambiguation). Signal flag "Lima" called the "Yellow Jack" which when flown in harbor means ship is under quarantine. A simple yellow flag (also called the "Yellow Jack") had historically been used to signal quarantine (it stands for Q among signal flags), but now indicates the opposite, as a signal of a ship free of disease that requests boarding and inspection. A quarantine is used to separate and restrict the movement of people; it is 'a restraint upon the activities or communication of persons or the transport of goods designed to prevent the spread of disease or pests', for a certain period of time. [1] This is often used in connection to disease and illness, such as those who may possibly have been exposed to a communicable disease. [2] The term is often erroneously used to mean medical isolation, which is "to separate ill persons who have a communicable disease from those who are healthy...
