History
A public school was established in Stevensville by 1889. A new high school was built in 1924.[6] In 1954, a new elementary school was built near the high school, which included a gym with seating for 1,000 spectators to be used by the high school.[7]
Baroda had a high school by at least 1894, when it is mentioned in The Herald-Palladium newspaper.[8] It only went to grade ten until 1901, when eleventh grade was added. At the time it had 110 students.[9] Students were graduating from Baroda by at least 1919.[10]
Lakeshore Public Schools was formed in 1957 from several small districts, including Hollywood, Stewart, Evans, Baroda, Stevensville, and others.[11] Stevensville High School and Baroda High School then merged to form Lakeshore High School. Between 1957 and 1959, Lakeshore High School occupied the former Stevensville High School.[12]
The current Lakeshore High School opened in fall 1959.[13] The architect was Guido A. Binda.[14]
Stevensville Elementary School, occupying two buildings (one formerly Stevensville High School), was closed in 1979 and demolished in 2011.[15] Another elementary school, Baroda Elementary School (formerly Baroda High School), was closed in 1981 and demolished in 2006.[11]
