The district is mostly in Jackson County and includes most of Grass Lake Charter Township, and portions of Leoni and Waterloo townships.[4] A portion of the district is in Sharon Township, Washtenaw County.[5]

History

George Long Elementary School was completed in fall 1954.[6] The current Grass Lake High School opened in fall 2003.[7]

Its predecessor, formerly the junior/senior high school, then became the district's middle school.[8] When that building was completed around 1959,[9] the editors of the yearbook summarized their feelings about moving from the old high school, built in 1863,[10] to the new:

Students look forward to classes in the new building, but we will not soon forget the good times we have had here. We poked a lot of fun at our century old building, we grumbled about the long climb to study hall, we laughed when the floor shook and the lights swayed, we cheered at pep meetings and basketball games, and we crowded the halls before classes.[9]
