Map of Garden City School District, MI, USA
Before GCPS
It is believed that the first school located on the land that is now Garden City was a log cabin built between 1840-1845. In 1847, a one-room, frame school called the East Nankin School was built. In about 1924, not too long after the formation of Garden City, four two-room frame school buildings were constructed, and just 5 years later a law was passed, forming a school district for the village of Garden City.
1929- Present
Between 1948 and 1959, nine elementary schools were constructed due to a rapid population growth of students. By 1968, 14,000 students were enrolled in its fifteen schools. Today, Garden City holds four elementary schools, one middle school, one high school, two special education schools, and an alternative high school.
Board Meetings
Meetings are scheduled on the 2nd and 4th Monday of each month at 7:00 pm. During the school year, the meeting on the fourth Monday of the month is held in a school building as the schedule permits. Public notices are posted in the event of any change from the announced schedule.
The Administrative Service Center is located at 1333 Radcliff, Garden City, Michigan (one half mile south of Ford and one quarter mile west of Venoy).
