History

A new school building was dedicated on June 3, 1926. The previous school building was then demolished.
In 1952, Vera Wilsie Elementary was built, making more space available in the older school for secondary grades.
The current high school opened in February 1964. A bond issue passed in 2000 funded construction of the current middle school, and the 1926 school became an elementary building called Velma Matson Elementary.
In 2022, voters passed a $22.96 million bond issue to improve district facilities. The elementary schools were consolidated in a newly renovated Velma Matson school, now called Newaygo Elementary, and Vera Wilsie Elementary was demolished.
