Biographical Note: Shenandoah Junior High opened in portables in 1926: its PTA was organized that February. The three story building was ready for occupancy by September 1927. Rapid population growth soon required more use of portables. With assistance from the WPA and with the passage of a special bond issue in 1941, two wings were added and opened for use December 11, 1942, with the current address, 1950 SW 19 Street
