New Lothrop Area Public Schools is a public school district in Central Michigan. In Shiawasee County, it serves New Lothrop, and parts of Hazelton Township.[4] In Saginaw County, it serves parts of the townships of Chesaning and Maple Grove.[5]
History
New Lothrop had a high school by at least 1904, when it was mentioned in a local newspaper that four students graduated.[6] As of 1930, 56 students attended the high school.[7]
The school caught fire on March 22, 1932, and could not be reached by the fire department due to heavy snow on the roads.[8] A new school replaced it, opening in January 1933.[9] A gymnasium/auditorium addition was approved in 1936, mostly paid for by the Works Progress Administration.[10] In 1969, plans were drawn to build a new high school.[11]
In 2005, voters passed a bond issue to fund the construction of New Lothrop Elementary.[12]
Schools
The two buildings in the district, the high school and the elementary, share a campus at 9387 Genesee Street in New Lothrop.[1][3]
