History
Cass City Public Schools' first school was built in 1864.[8]
The former Cass City High School was built in 1926, and originally housed all grades in the district. It became the district's middle school when the present high school opened.[9] A stand-alone elementary school was built around 1949, named for Willis Campbell, a district superintendent.[8]
Warren Holmes Company of Lansing designed the current Cass City Junior/Senior High School in 1965.[10] It opened around January 1968.[11]
In March 1996, a bond issue passed to build a new middle school.[12] The middle school opened in January 1998, and the 1926 section of the former school was torn down, leaving the one-story wing to be converted to a school for kindergarten and pre-kindergarten, called the Cass City Early Childhood Center.[9][13]
The middle school was closed around 2011 and the building became Cass City Elementary. Middle school students joined high school students, forming Cass City Junior/Senior High School.[8][14][15]
