History

The administration building at 30375 Clark Street was the original high school for the district. It was built in 1922 and the first class graduated in 1924. [5]

A 1962 article in the Port Huron Times-Herald reported that the district had 1,329 students in three schools: E.F. Siefert Elementary, Frank Lemmon School, and the high school. [6]

In 1965, the district hired architect Ralph B. Fortney, who had designed Siefert Elementary, to design the district's new high school. [7] The high school was under construction by 1967, but the unfinished school was twice damaged by storms: In April, three walls of the gymnasium were blown down in a tornado, [8] and the fourth wall was blown down in June. [9] The structure was rebuilt by September, and as of that month completion was planned for May 1968. [10] However, a trade union strike delayed the opening to late October, 1968. [11] After the current high school was built, Lemmon Elementary remained in the Clark Street building. [12]

New Haven Elementary opened in fall 2004. [13] The middle school then moved from the Clark Street building to the Siefert Elementary building, at 24125 26 Mile Road. [14] [15] Siefert was replaced by the Endeavor Elementary/Middle School, which opened in fall 2010. [16]

In 2024, a bond issue passed to renovate and reopen Siefert Elementary. It is planned to reopen in 2027. [17]
