Highland School
Many children from the Volga German community in Portland attended the Highland School (now Martin Luther King Elementary School), located at 4906 NE 6th Street. In 1898, the first buildings were relocated from the old Albina School House site.
George Jones designed a late Gothic revival building in 1925. The new school opened in 1926, and an addition was constructed in 1952.
