History
[edit]![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/07/Drawing_of_James_John_High_School.jpg/220px-Drawing_of_James_John_High_School.jpg)
James John Elementary is named after the pioneer of St. Johns who bequeathed land and money for the establishment of a school[14] and in 1911 James John High School was built on what is now the playground for the current school.[15]
The current building was designed by the prolific architect George Howell Jones[16] in a two-story Classical Revival style that is similar to numerous other "fireproof" Portland schools of the era that were built in response to some highly publicized school fires elsewhere in the U.S.[17]
The school became a K-8 when Roosevelt High School was founded in 1921[18] and became a K-5 school when George Middle School was founded in 1951. [19]
