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