St. Charles Community Schools is a public school district in Saginaw County, Michigan. It serves St. Charles and parts of the townships of Brant, Fremont, Marion, St. Charles, and Swan Creek.[5]
History
The current St. Charles Middle/High School was built in 1959.[6] It replaced an earlier building that then became a dedicated elementary school, Miller Elementary. At its center was the 1884 union school, with later additions surrounding it.[7] Patterson Elementary opened in January 1963, named for Mary Patterson, an elementary teacher in the district for 37 years.[8][9]
The Fine Arts and Central Administration Building, as well as a middle school wing, were added to the high school in 1968. The middle school was named for Anna M. Thurston, a long-serving and highly regarded math teacher in the district.[10]
In fall 2006, St. Charles consolidated its two elementary schools at Patterson Elementary, which became St. Charles Elementary. Sixteen new classrooms and a renovation were completed there, and Miller Elementary was sold and became an assisted living facility. The middle/high school was also renovated.[11]
