In 1846, Elijah Bristow was the first of four immigrants to settle in this still unincorporated community.  In 1847, he built a cabin to be both a church and a school, and it became the first school in Lane County. Our school has grown and changed throughout the years and we now serve students and families residing in the Pleasant Hill, Dexter, Jasper, Trent and Goshen areas.

Our schools now educate around 1000 students.  We enjoy joint efforts on the parts of parents, teachers and students to make learning happen, create success and make our community a place people want to be a part of because good things that continue to be achieved.

For a detailed account of how we got to this point of excellence-- from the earliest days of Lane County, including the journeys of Pleasant Hill founder Elijah Bristow and his friend Eugene Skinner -- Read more about the History of Pleasant Hill.
