Chesaning Union Schools is a public school district in Saginaw County, Michigan. It serves Chesaning, Oakley, Albee and Brady townships, and parts of the townships of Brady, Brant, Chapin, Chesaning, Maple Grove, and St. Charles.[7] It also serves parts of Hazelton Township, New Haven Township and Rush Township in Shiawassee County.[8]
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.[9] By 1957, enrollment in the school district had nearly doubled through consolidation[10] and a bond issue passed that December to build the new high school.[11][12]
The new high school opened in fall 1959 and was dedicated on December 6, 1959.[13] The previous high school became a school for grades 6-8.[12] As of October 1969, the district had 3,448 students and five elementary schools: Albee, Big Rock, Brady, Oakley and Line Street.[14]
Big Rock Elementary opened in fall 1968.[15] Chesaning Middle School, with a pool and a 400-seat auditorium, opened in 1976.[16]
