Post-Gazette VOL. 125 - NO. 15 BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS, APRIL 9, 2021 $.35 A COPY Public Meeting for the North End Residents Oppose Cross Street Hotel by Marie Simboli Silver Line Extension The North End community and its residents have mounted stiff opposition to a boutique luxury hotel planned for the property on the Alternatives Analysis Greenway-end of Salem Street. Since this project was fi rst proposed, residents have been saying that it is out of character with the neighborhood and many of their complaints are focused on its disruptive impact on the quality of life.

    Spotlight on Success: North Eugene High School “We’re experiencing more ownership of the school and more personalization. Hopefully [we’re] changing the climate so that the kids realize this school belongs 1 to them and their parents and their community.” North Eugene High School (NEHS) is one of four comprehensive high schools in the Eugene (OR) School District 4J, with additional magnet and alternative schools available to Eugene students. There are just under 1000 students at NEHS. Laurie Henry is the campus principal and works with each of the three small school principals; she is finishing her second year at NEHS. Laurie has been an educator with the Eugene School District 4J for 33 years, first as an elementary teacher and learning specialist. She was later an administrator at the elementary, middle, and high school levels. A lot of Laurie Henry’s background involved work with at-risk and low income students. She sees herself as an instructional leader because she believes one of her strengths is around instruction. She said, “It’s really exciting to have teachers coming to learn how to differentiate learning rather than just teaching content and hoping the kids get it.” What’s working? Key Components to Success Small Learning Communities North Eugene High School is in their second year of housing three small schools within one larger school. E3:OSSI (Oregon Small Schools Initiative), funded by the Meyer Memorial Trust and the Gates Foundation, provided initial funding to convert the comprehensive high school to the small schools model. There are three small learning communities of approximately 70-100 students.

The following paper serves as the “historical background” for the Eugene Mid-20th Century Modern School Facilities Historical Context. This portion of the context focuses on the historical trends, events, and developments that influenced how and why schools were built from 1945-1968 in Eugene, Oregon. During this time period, school construction and facility expansion were dictated by changing demographics, education reform, new construction methods, and new building standards. Historical revival styles were rejected and instead schools were designed to accommodate new reforms sweeping the education system; form followed function.

    Lane Community College Foundation 2015 ANNUAL REPORT INVEST IN LANE. INVEST IN SUCCESS. For many of our students, Lane is their only safe space and our faculty, staff, students, and donors become their family. This “family” is real and critical to their success. MARY SPILDE, LANE COMMUNITY COLLEGE PRESIDENT A Letter from the President amily is an integral part of Lane Community College. Siblings, Fparents, children, cousins, and other relatives share the experience of a Lane education. I have met students who are the second, or even the third generation in their family to attend Lane, and others who are the first in their family to go to college. I know older adults inspired to complete their education because of their child’s experience here. When families embrace higher education together, the chances of success are much greater. For many of our students, Lane is their only safe space and our faculty, staff, students, and donors become their family. This “family” is real and critical to their success. Whether it’s a cohort of students in our Women’s Program, a staff member in the Veterans Center, a mentor in our Multicultural Center, an inspirational teacher, or a generous scholarship donor, students can find encouragement, assistance, and people who truly care about them. Just a few short months ago, our campus family came together to celebrate the grand opening of our renovated campus core. This transformative project included our library, tutoring center, quiet study space, and food services, as well as our well-known culinary student restaurant, the Renaissance Room.

  • Theodore Roosevelt Junior High School Eugene, Oregon 1949–2016
    THEODORE ROOSEVELT JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL EUGENE, OREGON 1949–2016 Liz Carter HERITAGE RESEARCH ASSOCIATES REPORT NO. 412 THEODORE ROOSEVELT JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL, EUGENE, OREGON, 1949–2016 by Liz Carter Prepared for Eugene School District 4J Eugene, Oregon Heritage Research Associates, Inc., 1997 Garden Avenue Eugene, Oregon 97405 March 2016 Heritage Research Associates Report No. 412 ABSTRACT The 1949–1950 International Style Roosevelt Junior High (Middle) School, in Eugene, Lane County, Oregon, was designed by Portland architects Wolff and Phillips. Built to its current configuration over a period of years, it replaced the 1924 Roosevelt Junior High, which was converted to Condon Elementary School in 1953 and is now owned by the University of Oregon, known as Agate Hall. The subject school is representative of the community’s response to post-World War II population growth as well as the changing architectural trends of the mid-twentieth century. As evaluated under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act, Roosevelt Middle School was found to be historically significant for its association with post-World War II educational shifts and trends, and for its architectural character as a good local example of the International Style, which came into common use in the years following the war. Although not the first post-war school constructed in Eugene—it was preceded by Colin Kelly Junior High—and certainly not the last to be built in response to the Baby Boom, Roosevelt became a lauded focal point of new, progressive pedagogical approaches, and the building reflected those ideas architecturally. The original portion of the new school building was constructed in 1949–1950, with historic-period additions made between 1950 and 1957 (in 1950, 1951, 1954, 1955, and 1957).
