Homer Community Schools is a public school district in Southern Michigan. In Calhoun County, it serves Homer and parts of the townships of Albion, Clarendon, Eckford, Fredonia, Homer, and Tekonsha.[4] In Branch County, it serves parts of Butler Township. In Hillsdale County, it serves part of Litchfield Township.[5] In Jackson County, it serves part of Pulaski Township.[6]
Homer School, built in 1890, served the community until it burned in 1943.[7] A new school was built in 1947.[8] It was expanded with a gymnasium and four classrooms in 1951.[7] Lillian Fletcher Elementary was built nearby and dedicated on October 20, 1957.[9]
In 1975, a bond issue passed to add classrooms to the elementary school and vocational and cafetorium additions at the high school.[10][11] A 2005 addition connected the Elementary and Middle/High School buildings.[12]
The current middle/high school building was added to the existing school and opened in January 2013. Kingscott Associates was the architect. Part of the 1947 section and the fifth grade wing were then demolished.[13][8]
