East Jordan Public Schools is a public school district in Northern Michigan. In Charlevoix County, it serves East Jordan and parts of the townships of Eveline, South Arm, and Wilson.[4] In Antrim County, it serves parts of Echo Township and Jordan Township.[5]
A new high school was built in East Jordan around 1921, which is currently used as the elementary school.[6] In March 1941, much of the building was destroyed by fire, and the current two-story structure was proposed later that year.[7] The building was expanded again in 1955.[8]
The current middle/high school, carefully placed by architects into a grove of trees, opened in fall 1978.[9][10] The dedication, on October 6, 1978, was attended by Governor William Milliken.[11]
A new middle school opened in fall 1997, part of a construction campaign funded by a $5.3 million bond issue passed in 1995. Additions and renovations were also made to the high school and elementary school.[12][13] Currently, the 1997 middle school building is known as the Mill Street Campus, a multipurpose building, and the middle school students attend the high school, now known as East Jordan Middle/High School.[1][14]
Bond issues to fund technology and construction projects passed in 2002 and 2011. A 2016 bond issue failed by a single vote, but passed the next year.[15]
