White Cloud Public Schools

White Cloud Public Schools is a public school district in Newaygo County, in West Michigan. It serves White Cloud, Wilcox Township, and parts of the townships of Big Prairie, Denver, Everett, Goodwell, Lincoln, Merrill, Monroe, Norwich, and Sherman.

History

A 1952 newspaper article reported that the district enrolled 729 students, including 105 attending small rural schools. The remaining students were divided between a four-room elementary school and the main school building, originally constructed in 1880 with additions completed in 1922 and 1936. That year, overcrowding prompted district officials to seek a millage increase to fund construction of a new elementary school.

The new elementary school was built in 1954. A new high school opened in 1961. The current high school, constructed as an addition to the former high school building, was completed in fall 1992. At that time, the former high school was converted into the middle school.

A bond issue passed in 2001 to build a school for grades four through six. It is currently used as the district's elementary school.
