Carrollton Public Schools is a public school district in Saginaw County, Michigan. It serves Carrollton Township.[5]
History
The roots of Carrollton Public Schools lie in the Carrollton Union School of the township's School District No. 1, a union school district that existed at least as far back as 1888, when it was mentioned in the Saginaw News.[6] Mershon School, part of the township's School District No. 2,[7] was built in 1923.[8] A new Union School building was built in 1940 and funded by the Public Works Administration.[9] The two districts merged in 1953.[10]
A crisis arose in 1929 when two boys, ages seven and nine, took a bottle of poisonous disinfectant they had found in the Sixth Street dump and poured it down the well of Union School. Two children became violently sick before the contamination was discovered and use of the well was suspended.[11]
In the 1952-1953 school year, the Mershon School (with four rooms) and Union School (with ten rooms)[12] were overcrowded.[10] Union School was so overcrowded that the auditorium was partitioned into classrooms and held grades five through eight, with fourth grade using the stage. Kindergarteners missed one week of school while the community debated where to house them.[13] As of 1953, a new junior high building was being planned that would relieve overcrowding.[14] Construction began in September 1954[15] and completion was planned for 1955.[16]
Carrollton High School was dedicated in May 1962.[17] Prior to its opening, high school students in the district attended high schools in Saginaw.[18]
