Rockford Public Schools is a school district in the US state of Michigan. It serves the town of Rockford and parts of the townships of Algoma, Cannon, Courtland and Plainfield in Kent County.[1]

History

The modern school system was formed in the late 1950s by combining various neighborhood school systems.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".

Erwin J. Kleinert became superintendent in 1940 and was instrumental in consolidating many of the one-room school districts into Rockford Public Schools. He remained as superintendent until 1962, when he then became superintendent of Kent County Intermediate School District.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".

North Rockford Middle School was built as Rockford High School.[2] The school was funded by a 1958 bond issue, and H.E. Beyster was the architect.[3] Prior to that, the high school had been located at 350 N. Main Street, in the building presently used for district administration.[4] It was built around 1923.[5]

The present Rockford High School opened in December 1992.[6] The middle school was moved to the former high school in fall 1993, and sixth graders were moved to the former middle school in November 1992.[7] That building, Sheridan Trails Middle School, became the Freshman Center in fall 2000.[8]
