Comstock Park Public Schools is a public school district in the Grand Rapids, Michigan area. It serves parts of Comstock Park, Walker, Alpine Township, and Plainfield Township.[4]
Comstock Park High School has been in operation since at least 1902, but it was not a four-year school at first.[5] A new high school was built in 1908 near 100 Betty Street NE,[6] and it originally went to grade ten.[5] In 1925, a new building was built on the site,[7] and the first class graduated from it in 1927.[6] An addition was built in 1960.[8] The 1966 high school yearbook shows the 1908, 1925, and 1960 sections in a row along School Street NE.[9] In 1974, the 1908 building was torn down.[6]
The current Comstock Park High School was built in 1991,[7] and the district rented out the former secondary school. In fall 1992, the district moved sixth graders there due to overcrowding.[10] The 1960 section of the building, then called Mill Creek Middle School, was renovated, expanded and reopened in fall 1995. The 1925 section was torn down, but a bell from the old school was placed in a skylight in the new section.[7] The architect of the 1991 high school building was WBDC Group.[10]
