History

Jonesville's first school opened in 1832 in a tavern owned by the founder of the town. The first dedicated school, a log building, was built the next year. [5]

The 1860s saw the construction of a new school. Most of it was rebuilt in 1925 after a 1923 fire, but some of the 1860s structure was retained and integrated into the new construction. The north building, a small annex, was added in the early 1950s, and a gymnasium addition was built in the late 1950s. [6] The building continues to be used as Jonesville Middle School. [1]

A bond issue passed in 1999 by two votes. The bond funded construction of the current high school, completed in March 2003, [7] and renovation of Williams Elementary. The former middle/high school at 401 East Chicago became a dedicated middle school building. [8]
