EDUCATION

The land to build the first school for Bellevue School District 51 was deeded by Thomas Morris in 1872 . The first Bellevue schoolhouse was one-roomed, built around the time the land was deeded. This schoolhouse was in use until a new two-room school was built in 1917 . After 1939 , Bellevue began transporting seventh and eighth grade students to McMinnville School District 40. In 1942 , all students began to be sent to Sheridan School District 48, before, in 1948 , all students were sent to District 40. In 1950 , Bellevue eventually consolidated with District 40. The school is still in existence, though it has been converted to other uses.1
