Lake Fenton Community Schools is a public school district in Genesee County, Michigan. It serves Lake Fenton and parts of Fenton, Fenton Township, Grand Blanc Township, and Mundy Township.[5]
The district originally began as a collection of six one-room schoolhouses that consolidated in two waves. O'Dell Schoolhouse was designated as School District No. 1 and was located at the corner of Baldwin and Torrey roads in Fenton Township on land owned by Lafayette O'Dell and later donated by his descendant William O'Dell. The school was started in 1837, and was the first record school in the county. The first schoolhouse was built in 1845. At annexation, the school was the oldest district still in continuous operation.[6]
The first wave of consolidation was in 1922, and consisted of Severance, Long Lake and Sand Bar schools joined together. In 1953–54, the school district added the O'Dell, South Mundy and Kennedy one-room schools.[6]
Consolidation began in 1922 and, in 1956, the Lake Fenton Community School (essentially West Shore Elementary and Torrey Hill Middle School) was built to replace the one-room schools. The school itself sat on the site of one of the one-room schools, the former Long Lake School. Then, in 1959, the first Lake Fenton High School was built, being added onto the Community School. In time, West Shore and Torrey Hill moved to a new building on Lahring Road, and the high school occupied the 1956 school building. Today, Torrey Hill is an intermediate school and the original high school a middle school.[citation needed] The current high school opened in fall 2004.[7]
