Breitung Township Schools

Breitung Township Schools is a public school district in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. It serves Kingsford, Quinnesec, Breitung Township, and small parts of Iron Mountain.

History

Breitung Township Schools was organized as a public school district in 1925. The mascot is the Flivver, or Ford Model T, a car that was built in a factory in Kingsford in the 1920s. The 1925 high school building was built on the south side of Hamilton Avenue at the end of Union Street.

The current high school and middle school building opened in 1965. In 1968, after three failed attempts to pass a funding millage, the district threatened to close an elementary school and eliminate high school sports and elementary physical education. High school sports were ultimately preserved through a community fundraising effort.

Woodland Elementary was built in 1989, and a middle school addition was built at the high school in 1991.
