The book also explains all college credit opportunities and industry recognized certifications that are possible under these career pathways.

  • BELLEVUE SCHOOLS TIMELINE 1883-Present
    BELLEVUE SCHOOLS TIMELINE 1883-Present Early pioneers claimed land and began homesteading in the area between 1863 and 1883. The land was given to the homesteaders by the U.S. government as long as they agreed to live on it and improve it. Property that was one-half mile from the lakeshore was considered choice property. Waterfront tracts, which were to be sold and money used for schools, were called “school section lands.” During this same time, an informal post office was established and the pioneers named the area “Bellevue”, meaning “beautiful view”. 1883 The first public school was built in Killarney on the west side of 108th Avenue S.E., just north of S.E. 25th Street. This 10x12 log cabin school was built by Albert Burrows and George Miller. Miss Calanthia Burrows (“Tunie”), Albert’s daughter, was the first teacher for the 7 students. She was paid $40.00 for a three month term. The 7 students included two younger Burrrows children and 5 Miller children. 1884 A shanty on Mercer Island was used as a school. H.E. Kelsey was the teacher for 9 students. (Kelsey Creek is named for him) 1885 Mrs. Houghton was the next teacher. School District #49 was formed November 10, 1885. It took in T25N R4E Sections 25, 36, T25N R5E, Sections 30, 31 22, 33, and half of Sections 28, and 29. It comprised what would today be Beaux Arts, and nearly all the area of Bellevue including the Killarney area. (Source: Boundary Books Puget Sound Regional Archives) (School District #28 was formed February 8, 1879 and took in T24N R4E Sections 11, 12, and 13, and T24N R5E Section 18 and part of 17.
