Jonesville Community Schools is a public school district in Hillsdale County, Michigan. It serves Jonesville and parts of the townships of Adams, Allen, Fayette, Hillsdale, Litchfield, Moscow, and Scipio. It also serves a small part of Pulaski Township in Jackson County.[4]

History

Jonesville's first school opened in 1832 in a tavern owned by the founder of the town. The first dedicated school, a log building, was built the next year.[5]

The 1860s saw the construction of a new school. Most of it was rebuilt in 1925 after a 1923 fire, but some of the 1860s structure was retained and integrated into the new construction. The north building, a small annex, was added in the early 1950s, and a gymnasium addition was built in the late 1950s.[6] The building continues to be used as Jonesville Middle School.[1]

A bond issue passed in 1999 by two votes. The bond funded construction of the current high school, completed in March 2003,[7] and renovation of Williams Elementary. The former middle/high school at 401 East Chicago became a dedicated middle school building.[8]
