History
Prior to 1958, the district was served by a series of smaller rural schools. The initial nickname for the school district was the Blissfield Sugar Boys. This name referred to the large sugar beet production in the area. When the current high school opened in the fall of 1958, the name was changed to the Blissfield Royals. Burdett Peebles was the first principal of the new school.
