St. Louis Public Schools is a public school district in Central Michigan. In Gratiot County, it serves St. Louis and parts of the townships of Bethany, Emerson, and Pine River.[4] In Isabella County, it serves part of Coe Township. In Midland County, it serves parts of Greendale Township and Jasper Township.[5]
The 1923 St. Louis High School yearbook illustrates the schools in operation at that time: A high school, a ward school, and a frame primary school.[6]
In 1932, St. Louis High School was destroyed by fire. In fall 1932, the school year began in temporary quarters, but the rebuilt school opened in time for the graduation ceremony for the class of 1933.[7][8] A gymnasium building was added in 1959.[9]
Carrie Knause Elementary opened in fall 1955, named after a long-serving teacher and St. Louis resident.[10][11]
A building program was begun in 1967 to build Nurnberger Middle School and Nikkari Elementary, originally called State Street Elementary.[12] The buildings were dedicated on October 26, 1969.[13]
A $5.3 million construction project was completed at St. Louis High School in fall 1996.[14] The 1933 section was demolished, and the 1959 building received an extensive addition.[15]
