Forest Grove School District 15 is seeking residential lots to keep the Viking House program at Forest Grove High School operating. The district asked property owners to contact the school district business office if they have a property to sell for a Viking House project.
The Viking House program, which began with its first house in 1975 and continues with projects in 2025, has produced student-built homes across the district for 50 years. The program provides high school students hands-on training in construction trades, teamwork and communication that the district says helps students whether they enter the trades, pursue college engineering or architecture, or become homeowners or tenants.
District officials said more residential lots are needed for future Viking House projects; the number of lots required was not specified. Forest Grove School District 15 provided a contact for property owners: Eileen Clute in the district business office at (503) 359-2425.
The request appeared as a district announcement urging community members to support the program by offering property for sale to future student-built homes. The announcement did not specify pricing, eligibility criteria for parcels, or a deadline for offers.
