Marker Text: Bend’s first ‘Modern School” named for its principal, Miss Ruth Reid, (Mrs. H.J. Overturf) opened in this building on September 16, 1914. Overlooking downtown Bend, the three-story school held opening exercises as Europe plunged into World War I. Visitors acclaimed the building, to be known for half a century as the “Reid School”, for its lighting, its architecture, and its spacious classrooms.
