The Portland Public School District is honored to
join in the celebration of the life of Martin Luther
King. This city's school system takes this
opportunity to reaffirm its dedication to provision of
equal opportunity education and to affirmative
action employment practices. Dr. King's
inspirational leadership is taught in our schools as a
vital part of this country's developing heritage.
Th« Portland Public School Board moved unanimously In 1968 to
changa the name of Highland Elementary School to Martin Luther
King Elementary School out of respect for the memory of Dr. King.
