History

The school district originated in 1885 as a one-room schoolhouse, though the district's name at that time was informal.[http://www.parkrose.k12.or.us/districtinformation/history/parkrose_history.pdf ] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060517095132/http://www.parkrose.k12.or.us/districtinformation/history/parkrose_history.pdf |date=May 17, 2006 }} The district slowly grew - first into several classrooms, and later several buildings. In November 2005 the school district had 3,505 students enrolled.[http://www.parkrose.k12.or.us/districtinformation/studentstats/current_enrollment.pdf ] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060517175435/http://www.parkrose.k12.or.us/districtinformation/studentstats/current_enrollment.pdf |date=May 17, 2006 }}
