Welcome to CAL
The Center for Advanced Learning (also known as CAL) is a high school in Gresham, OR—but it’s a whole new kind of high school. At CAL, you can take advanced courses in four technology-based fields: digital media & design, networking & programming, medical/dental sciences, and engineering/manufacturing. And when you’re finished, you’ll have a high school diploma, a start on college, and real-world experiences that you couldn’t get at any other high school.
