History

Prior to 1969, students in Allendale Public Schools attended high school at Hudsonville High School, Zeeland High School, and Coopersville High School. In fall 1969, a high school was built as an addition to the elementary/junior high school at 6561 Lake Michigan Drive. [5] [6] That year, the school district had 515 students in grades kindergarten through nine. [5] The current Allendale High School opened in the fall of 1997. [7]

Four district schools share a campus on Learning Lane, the first being Evergreen Elementary, opened in 2004. The name ‘Learning Lane’ was selected by 25 students in a naming contest, and the grand prize winner was then randomly chosen from among them. The 7-year old winner, Savannah Wells, received a $100 savings bond. She told the Grand Rapids Press, "It's a good name for the road since you learn at school." [8]

Evergreen Elementary was joined by Oakwood Intermediate and Allendale Middle School in 2009. [9] Allendale Early Childhood Center was built there in 2019. [10]
