Administrative History

Lookingglass High School (sometimes written as Looking Glass High School) was located in Lookingglass, Oregon, near Roseburg in Douglas County. It began operations in approximately 1918. In May 1943, residents of the school district voted to discontinue the school in light of a scarcity of teachers and increasing operational costs. That June, the final graduating class consisted of six students.
