History

The district originated with a one-room schoolhouse called Orchard View School. It was built in 1895 at Apple Avenue and Harvey Street. As a primary school district, its students attended high school in Muskegon or Muskegon Heights [5] until Orchard View opened its own high school in fall 1960. [6] Jolman Elementary was built in 1936. [5] Junior high students attended the high school building [7] until Orchard View Middle School opened in fall 1966. [8]

The present high school opened in fall 2006. [9] Beginning in fall 2007, Jolman Elementary and Orchard View Elementary programs were combined at the former high school building, now called Cardinal Elementary. [5] Orchard View Elementary became an Early Elementary building. [10] The Jolman Elementary building housed community education programs until 2014, when the district moved them to a building it purchased at 2900 East Apple Avenue. Jolman Elementary was sold in 2017, [11] but remained vacant as of 2024. [12]
