History

The first school in Onaway was established in 1882. The current school building replaced a 1915 school, which had been expanded with additions in 1935 and 1937. After the state fire marshal determined in 1961 that the school building was unsafe, plans were made to construct a new school. To support the project, several outlying school districts consolidated with Onaway. Although those districts had been independent, they had long sent their high school students to Onaway on a tuition basis. Voters approved the consolidations in May 1961.[6]

Onaway's current school building opened in fall 1963[7] and was dedicated on March 1, 1964.[8]
