History

The cornerstone of the current high school was laid on September 5, 1970 by members of the Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of Michigan. [9] As part of the bond issue passed in November 2020, additions were built at the high school and much of Cherryland Middle School was rebuilt. [10]
