Why Giving Matters
Thank you for supporting students.
"Throughout our 155 year history, the OES community of support has made a difference in the classrooms, fields, dorms, and all of the spaces and places where living and learning, education and transformation, take place. Generations of community members before us laid the groundwork for the incredible opportunities our students, faculty, staff, and families enjoy today. This philanthropy is at the core of what makes OES a transformative place and allows us to deliver on our mission: educating students to realize their power for good as engaged citizens of the world."The Rev. Michael SpencerHead of School

Sustainability
OES works annually with the Energy Trust of Oregon to help identify strategies for energy savings throughout the campus. The new Building Automation System (BAS) will enhance energy efficiency by optimizing system operations in real-time and providing actionable insights.
- Solar panel systems on the Middle School, SPARC, and bleachers help reduce reliance on grid power.
- A separate sub-metering project delivers detailed electrical usage by building into the BAS, allowing for precise monitoring and energy-saving strategies.
- The HVAC controls and the BAS fine-tune cooling based on demand and building occupancy, maximizing efficiency.
