Creekside High School Signage

Tigard, OR

The new flagship building for Creekside Community High School supports the hands-on learning school’s mission to foster a caring community of student leaders. The school’s holistic educational model and flexible, collaborative environment nurtures real-life skills by engaging students in community health, sustainable agriculture, and environmental stewardship.  

The monument sign at the front of the school draws inspiration from the architecture—giving a nod to the “cozy residential meets tech-startup” interior. 

Because the school has multiple access points, Bora’s EGD team developed a series of wayfinding elements utilizing colorful pavement graphics and friendly text to guide guests to the main entry.

The name of the school is formatted at a right angle to symbolize the school’s place as a cornerstone of the Creekside community. Similarly, arrows on signage and wayfinding elements take multiple forms to direct users; one is created from the right angle of the school name, while another integrates a footprint of a coyote, the school mascot.
