We're glad you have stopped to see our school district's website. Our district enrolls over 1,250 pre-school through the 12th graders in three buildings. We are continually working to improve our students' academic achievement by increasing rigor, while promoting relevance and relationships with our students. We are located in the Township of Grass Lake, in Jackson County in the south-central area of Michigan just south of Interstate 94, approximately 50 miles west of Detroit and 10 miles east of Jackson.
Along with our main web page, which you are currently viewing, our website has four other start pages t
hat can be found under "Buildings" in the navigation bar below our header. Continuing across that bar you will find general information about our school district and our community. You will will also find navigation bars on the left side of each page containing information that is more specific to each of our buildings. It is our intention to make this page as easily accessible as possible. We invite comments toward improving our web presence, which can be sent to dmoeckel@grasslakeschools.com.

The Foundation has been very active in recent years. The past two years we have hosted a “Festival of Tables” fundraiser. Those two events have netted nearly $50,000.00. These profits have been used to support teacher mini grants, much needed technology, scholarships for deserving seniors, the fine arts programs and other academic endeavors. All of the profits go directly to students and teachers to support our diverse and rich programs that our students and community deserve. We will be holding our 3rd Annual event on October 12, 2013 and we are asking for your support. Go to http://bit.ly/177SlGb for specific information about the event. Go to http://bit.ly/162nfex to see how you can help. Thank you in advance for your support.


As a Michigan Green school, one of the recycling committee’s goals was to increase awareness about the need to recycle and to reduce the amount of recyclables that were ending up in the garbage. The bins will be used to improve the quality of the current recycling program at the high school. The new bins will be more visible and will allow the students and staff to increase the amount of material that will be able to be recycled. The bins will be placed in key locations for the start of the new school year in the fall. The Grass Lake High School recycling committee truly appreciates KAB and Coca-Cola for making the bins possible. Well done Mrs. Clark!
