History

In April 1956, Chesaning's school district began to seek mergers with the independent small school districts in outlying areas for the purposes of building a new high school. By 1957, enrollment in the school district had nearly doubled through consolidation and a bond issue passed that December to build the new high school.
The new high school opened in fall 1959 and was dedicated on December 6, 1959. The previous high school became a school for grades 6-8. As of October 1969, the district had 3,448 students and five elementary schools: Albee, Big Rock, Brady, Oakley and Line Street.
Big Rock Elementary opened in fall 1968. Chesaning Middle School, with a pool and a 400-seat auditorium, opened in 1976.
