Black and white image of about one dozen students standing outside their school. Greenville was once located between Banks and Forest Grove. The school was built in the late 1880s, but is no longer in service. In the 1937-1938 school year, seventy students were registered in the district. The teacher for this school is identified in museum records as Miss Ester Rieling, and can be seen in the back row on the right side of the image.
