History

Cass City Public Schools' first school was built in 1864. [8]

The former Cass City High School was built in 1926, and originally housed all grades in the district. It became the district's middle school when the present high school opened. [9] A stand-alone elementary school was built around 1949, named for Willis Campbell, a district superintendent. [8]

Warren Holmes Company of Lansing designed the current Cass City Junior/Senior High School in 1965. [10] It opened around January 1968. [11]

In March 1996, a bond issue passed to build a new middle school. [12] The middle school opened in January 1998, and the 1926 section of the former school was torn down, leaving the one-story wing to be converted to a school for kindergarten and pre-kindergarten, called the Cass City Early Childhood Center. [9] [13]

The middle school was closed around 2011 and the building became Cass City Elementary. Middle school students joined high school students, forming Cass City Junior/Senior High School. [8] [14] [15]
