Millington Community Schools is a public school district in the Thumb region of Michigan. In Tuscola County, it serves Millington, Millington Township, and parts of the townships of Arbela, Tuscola, Vassar, and Watertown.[4] In Genesee County, it serves parts of the townships of Forest and Thetford.[5]

History

Millington's first high school class graduated in 1889.[6] Behind the older school along Gleason Street, Millington Community School opened in August 1950, and it served as the high school for many years.[7][8][9]

An elementary school, designed by H.E. Beyster and Associates, opened in October 1956.[10] Another school, Glaza Elementary, opened the next year.[11] By 1972, the district was overcrowded. After two years of split-sessions, in 1974 the district began a year-long school calendar in order to save space.[12]

The current Millington Junior/Senior High School opened in fall 1979, ending the overcrowding crisis.[13] The former high school became the district's junior high, and in 1986 was renamed Meachum Junior High after a long-serving superintendent.[14][15]
