Amazing, innovative and heroic stories take place in Oregon’s schools every day. OSBA wants to share some of the work that shows public education is #OregonStrong. Today we have a story from St. Helens School District: St. Helens High School Renovations and Remodeling program students tour Portland State University Art Building under constructionRead more: tinyurl.com/4upnxbvd #OregonStrong #oregon #publiceducation #studentsuccess #educationmatters St Helens School DistrictStudents from our St. Helens High School Renovations and Remodeling program had the incredible opportunity to tour the new Portland State University Art Building, currently under construction.

We’re excited to share a glimpse into our students’ recent field trip! Please enjoy this short video highlighting their experience.youtu.be/EImrzUdBSbI?si=WmTYSzbfDd2UjuPB#learn, connect, commit ...
