Bend High School Earns County Approval for Union District
In February 1906 the Bend district organized a four year high school and, after review, the county boundary board declared Bend's school efficient, potentially surpassing Prineville. The district plans a union high school district centered at Madras, absorbing territory south of Crooked River and west of Powell Butte to fund a levy around 1 mill. This move aims to cut travel costs and provide a central, efficient high school.
