New Haven Community Schools is a public school district in Macomb County, Michigan. It serves New Haven and parts of the townships of Chesterfield, Lenox, Macomb and Ray.[4]

History

The administration building at 30375 Clark Street was the original high school for the district. It was built in 1922 and the first class graduated in 1924.[5]

A 1962 article in the Port Huron Times-Herald reported that the district had 1,329 students in three schools: E.F. Siefert Elementary, Frank Lemmon School, and the high school.[6]

In 1965, the district hired architect Ralph B. Fortney, who had designed Siefert Elementary, to design the district's new high school.[7] The high school was under construction by 1967, but the unfinished school was twice damaged by storms: In April, three walls of the gymnasium were blown down in a tornado,[8] and the fourth wall was blown down in June.[9] The structure was rebuilt by September, and as of that month completion was planned for May 1968.[10] However, a trade union strike delayed the opening to late October, 1968.[11] After the current high school was built, Lemmon Elementary remained in the Clark Street building.[12]

New Haven Elementary opened in fall 2004.[13] The middle school then moved from the Clark Street building to the Siefert Elementary building, at 24125 26 Mile Road.[14][15] Siefert was replaced by the Endeavor Elementary/Middle School, which opened in fall 2010.[16]

In 2024, a bond issue passed to renovate and reopen Siefert Elementary. It is planned to reopen in 2027.[17]
