History
The first formal school district in Marquette was established in 1852. By 1860, when the first dedicated high school was built, there were several schools in the city.The high school was torn down and rebuilt in 1875, but in February of 1900, that building was destroyed by a fire. Froebel Elementary, named for Friedrich Froebel, opened on the site in 1901, followed by Howard High School in 1902. The Howard-Froebel Complex was ordered torn down by the school board in 1961.
In the fall of 1927, the high school moved to a new building, Graveraet High School. The building was named in honor of the mother of Louis Graveraet Kaufman, a wealthy local benefactor who donated funds to purchase and prepare the site. The building is currently Graveraet Elementary and a new high school has been built.
