History

Zeeland Public Schools was organized in 1850 and instruction was conducted in the Dutch language. A dedicated brick school building was built in 1879. In 1894, when the first class graduated from Zeeland High School, students graduated after completing eleven grades. A dedicated high school building opened in 1909. A new high school opened in February, 1925. [6] Another building was added to the high school campus in 1957. It was located at 320 East Main Avenue, [7] and currently houses Cityside Middle School. The 1925 section has since been torn down. Creekside Middle School opened in 1966. [8]

The current Zeeland High School (which became Zeeland East High when West High opened) opened in fall 1996. [9] On the same campus, West High School opened in fall 2002. The designer of both buildings was GMB Architects. [10] The high school mascots were chosen in 2001: the Chix for East High and the Dux for West High. [6] A pool was built at West High School in 2005. [11]
