Coopersville Area Public Schools

Coopersville's first school was built in 1853. It was painted brown and, therefore, called the Brown School. In 1869, a two-story brick school was built, which contained all grades.^[7] The high school graduated its first class in 1892.^[8]

The 1869 building was replaced in 1908. An addition was built in 1937, which contained the high school, while the lower grades were housed in the 1908 section.^[8] When the current high school was built in 1959, the former high school became a junior high school.^[7][9]

In 1970, the high school's home construction class built the district's administration building.^[7]

Construction began in November 1999 to renovate and expand the district's schools,^[10][11] paid for with a bond issue passed in March 1999.^[12] The renovated high school was dedicated in October, 2002.^[13] The first touring act to play at the high school's new performing arts center was Shemekia Copeland in 2003.^[14]

Coopersville Middle School opened in fall 2009.^[15]
