- Provenance
- Received by mail from Jamie Buckner, whose late husband Tom Buckner is identified in the photo. Helen Tuttle identified from other photos of East Gresham staff. East Gresham, at the time it opened in 1950, was an upper grade school for 5th-8th grades. Voters approved a bond for its construction in 1949 in response to soaring enrollment at nearby Gresham Grade School, which became West Gresham Grade School when the new school opened. Students attended 1st-4th grades at West and 5th-8th at East. With the construction of Dexter McCarty Middle School in 1968, East and West both became K-6 schools.
