Bark River-Harris School District is a school district in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, headquartered in Harris, Michigan. It includes sections of Delta County and Menominee County: Bark River Township in Delta County,[4] and the majority of Harris Township in Menominee County.[5]
It is served by the Delta-Schoolcraft Intermediate School District.[6]
History
Bark River-Harris School was dedicated on May 7, 1972.[7]
In 2018 the Hannahville Indian Community gave the district $3.9 million so it could build an expansion, and voters passed a millage so the remainder of the funds for expansion could be obtained.[8] In June 2019 the expansion and renovation project began. The total cost was $4 million.[9] The expansion is to house the child development facility.[10]
Student body
Most students live in the settlements of Harris, Bark River, Schaffer, and Wilson.[6]
Circa 1975 the average class size was 30 students. The Native American students reported discrimination and had a dropout rate of 85%, prompting the tribe to establish the Hannahville Indian School.[11]
