History

In April 1956, Chesaning's school district began to seek mergers with the independent small school districts in outlying areas for the purposes of building a new high school. [9] By 1957, enrollment in the school district had nearly doubled through consolidation [10] and a bond issue passed that December to build the new high school. [11] [12]

The new high school opened in fall 1959 and was dedicated on December 6, 1959. [13] The previous high school became a school for grades 6-8. [12] As of October 1969, the district had 3,448 students and five elementary schools: Albee, Big Rock, Brady, Oakley and Line Street. [14]

Big Rock Elementary opened in fall 1968. [15] Chesaning Middle School, with a pool and a 400-seat auditorium, opened in 1976. [16]
