Page 2 July 4, 2018 Correction: ‘Sex Ed on the Line’ Harriet Tubman Middle School in north Portland will be reopening in the fall. In celebration, a Alumni Gala for all former administrators, teachers, staff and students that graduated from the school is planned for Saturday, July 21 at the nearby Leftbank Annex, 101 N.
