The Beaverton School District community is mourning the tragic loss of Nicole Lipton, a dedicated and beloved elementary school teacher, who passed away from injuries sustained in a car accident.

Nicole was originally from Oakland, California, and made her home in Portland, Oregon, where she devoted her life to education and inspiring young minds. A graduate of Ashland High School, Nicole went on to study at Portland State University before earning her Master’s degree in Teaching from Pacific University.

Her passion for teaching, her kindness, and her genuine care for her students left an indelible mark on her school community. Nicole will be remembered as a compassionate educator, a supportive colleague, and a friend who touched countless lives through her dedication and heart.

Nicole’s family will release her full obituary and details of funeral arrangements at a later date.
