Santiam Academy was an early primary and secondary school in Lebanon, Oregon, United States, run by the Methodist Episcopal Church.
The predecessor of the school was founded by pioneers in 1852 in a log cabin. Santiam Academy was created on January 18, 1854, by an act of the Oregon Territorial Legislature, and a larger building was constructed between 1854 and 1856. [1] Among the members of the first board of trustees were Delazon Smith and David W. Ballard. [2] [3]
Attendance at the school dropped after the establishment of a public school district in 1870, and the academy shut down during the 1903–1904 school year. [1] The church then turned the property over to the Lebanon School District. The building was torn down in the 1930s; in 1945, Santiam School was built on the site, across from Lebanon High School. Santiam School closed in 1982 and was torn down in 2002. [1] The site is now a Lebanon city park.

The common pheasant is a bird in the pheasant family (Phasianidae). The genus name comes from Latin phasianus, "pheasant". The species name colchicus is Latin for "of Colchis", a country on the Black Sea where pheasants became known to Europeans. Although Phasianus was previously thought to be closely related to the genus Gallus, the genus of junglefowl and domesticated chickens, recent studies show that they are in different subfamilies, having diverged over 20 million years ago.
