History

Before GCPS

It is believed that the first school located on the land that is now Garden City was a log cabin built between 1840-1845. In 1847, a one-room, frame school called the East Nankin School was built. In about 1924, not too long after the formation of Garden City, four two-room frame school buildings were constructed, and just 5 years later a law was passed forming a school district for the village of Garden City.

1929-Present

Between 1948 and 1959, nine elementary schools were constructed due to a rapid population growth of students. By 1968, 14,000 students were enrolled in its fifteen schools. Today, Garden City holds four elementary schools, one middle school, one high school, two special education schools, and an alternative high school.
