History
Formerly known as Calhoun Rural Agricultural school district, Harper Creek Community Schools took its present name in 1955.[5] It had an enrollment of about 1,700 that year. Calhoun Rural Agricultural school district had formed in 1949 by the consolidation of schoolhouse districts in the area.[6] As of fall 1957, the high school only went up to grade ten.[7] A new high school building opened in 1958.[8]
The current Harper Creek High School was completed in 2005. The former high school then became the middle school.[9]
