In September 2007, the Oregon Islamic Academy opened as the high school for the educational group with a class of six students, and was the first Islamic high school to open in the Northwestern United States. A seventh grade student at the school won the poster contest held by the Human Rights Council of Washington County in 2010. Following the March 2011 earthquake and tsunami in Japan, seven students at the academy traveled to Japan to assist in the recovery. The Oregon Islamic Academy graduated its first high school class in June 2011, with two students earning their diplomas.
