Vestaburg Community Schools (also known as Vestaburg Community School[1]) is a public school district in Central Michigan. In Montcalm County, it serves parts of the townships of Day, Ferris, and Richland.[3] In Isabella County, it serves part of Fremont Township.[4]

History

Prior to the opening of the current schools, Vestaburg's school was a stone and brick building with a wooden cupola.[5] On May 6, 1961, the current Vestaburg Community High School was dedicated. The Warren Holmes Company of Lansing was the architect.[6] By 1967, an adjacent school was built to serve the lower grades. This contributed to praise that year from the University of Michigan's Bureau of School Services, which also applauded the district's improvements to testing, curriculum, and vocational programs.[7]

In 2009, voters approved a $9.18 million bond issue to expand and renovate the schools.[8]
