Saranac Community Schools is a public school district in Ionia County, in West Michigan. It serves Saranac and parts of the townships of Berlin, Boston, Campbell, Easton, and Keene. [4]
One of the district’s former schools was Saranac Public School at 28 Vosper Street. Built around 1930, it replaced a nearly 75-year-old school building that was demolished in May 1930 prior to construction. [5] [6] The 1930 building closed with the opening of a new elementary facility in fall 1991. [7]
In 1950, a new elementary school was dedicated, after which the 1930 building was used for upper grades. [8] East of the elementary school, across a sports field, the current high school opened in fall 1964. [9]
Harker Middle School, housed in the 1950 elementary building since 1991, closed in 2012. [10]
