East Lansing Public Schools is a public school district in Ingham County, Michigan. It serves much of East Lansing, portions of Lansing and Haslett, and portions of Lansing Charter Township and Meridian Charter Township. A portion of the district is in Clinton County, where it serves portions of the parts of East Lansing in the county, as well as sections of Bath Charter Township.[5]

History

[edit]

East Lansing Public Schools district was formed in 1900. In 1901, Central School was built at Grand River and Charles Street, and it received an addition in 1909 designed by architect Edwyn A. Bowd. In 1916, it burned down, on the same night as the same architect's Michigan State University College of Engineering Building burned.[6][7]

Bowd also designed the replacement school, which opened in 1917 and housed a high school.[8] A dedicated high school was built in 1926 at 819 Abbott Road and opened in May 1927. In 1936, seventh and eighth grade were added to the building. The current high school was built in 1956, at which time the 1926 building became entirely a middle school. It was named Hannah Middle School in 1971 and closed in 1997.[9]

The district is governed by a seven-person Board of Education. Since 1973, the Board has included a student-elected, non-voting student representative from East Lansing High School.[10]
