Portland is a wonderful hometown! I am proud to say that I was born and raised, and have raised my children here. People in Portland truly care about their neighbors. If one needs something, then there is always someone there ready and willing to pick up that need.
The teachers in Portland are top notch. Not only do they teach our young people to be the best of best academically, they also teach them to have a good work ethic and to be humble and kind. I am so happy that my children had the privilege of being taught by educators that care about the whole child, and not just about the test score.

Portland TN is a wonderful small town to live in. Being from a small town allows you to build relationships, support your neighbor and become part others lives in a meaningful way.
While in school here, I have formed relationships that will last a lifetime. As we all go our own way, many of us have hope of returning to Portland to help it grow and better itself.
Some of small town benefits of Portland and a small high school, include smaller crime rates, smaller classes and lots of support from fellow students and families.
Some would believe that being from a small town keep you from experiences, but I feel like it, for some, drives them to want to find out more about the world outside and bring back that knowledge to help better the town.

As many people are wondering why would I consider moving or visiting Portland tn. Firstly Portland is a very quite town. Unlike other towns Portland has very little traffic and congestion. This allows you to travel to different stores within the city in less than 10 minutes. Another plus side about this town are the many other towns that surround it. There are a variety of markets, malls and activity center located in and near it. But what makes every great town are the amazing residents that live there. While living in Portland I have had the chance to meet some of the nicest people ever. They are very welcoming, friendly and willing to help whenever they see someone in need.
