Lake City Area Schools is a public school district in Northern Michigan. In Missaukee County, it serves Lake City, the townships of Forest, Norwich, and Pioneer, and parts of the townships of Aetna, Bloomfield, Butterfield, Caldwell, Enterprise, Lake, Reeder, and West Branch.[4]

History

The current Lake City High School was built around 1958.[5]

In 2016, a bond issue passed to renovate and expand school facilities. The project moved the middle school students to the high school campus and the former middle school became an elementary school.[6][7]
