Message from the South Beaverton NAC Chair

Welcome to the South Beaverton NAC. We meet the 3rd Thursday of each Month from September through May. We share ideas and issues and do some problem solving for people in our neighborhood. This is your opportunity to share your ideas and news with your neighbors about our community. It is also your opportunity to meet with city officials on various issues. We are not a home owners association. We are a liaison with the City to make Beaverton a great place to live. Please join us!

History and Origins

old Hiteon School

The South Beaverton NAC is home to Hiteon Elementary School which has a rich history as found on the Hiteon School Web site:

Before 1905 there were not more than 20 houses in what was to become the Hiteon School district. Children from the Hiteon area attended the little one-room school in the McKay district before that area was divided into Hiteon, Garden Home and McKay districts.

The name “Hiteon” (pronounced “hi-ton”) is derived from Hite, a family name of one of the original settlers in the Beaverton area. Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Hite settled with their family in 1880 on Scholls Ferry Road at the corner of what is now 125th Avenue. Their son, Ernest D. Hite, lived on the same property until his death in 1962. He served on the Hiteon School Board for many years. Neighbors of Ernest D. Hite suggested the name for their new school in 1911.

On January 9, 1975, Hiteon School opened its doors at the current location on SW Brockman (Hosea, 2006).
