Welcome to the heart of Allegan County and to Allegan Public Schools!
The
community of Allegan traces its roots back to the early 1800's. The
school
system began not long after that in 1845. From its humble beginnings in
a one room school house, the goal of the system has been to provide the
best public education attainable to the citizens in this community.
The Allegan Public Schools offer a broad educational program for all
individuals
residing within the district. The four elementary and middle school
programs
offer a comprehensive K-8 curriculum including computer labs in all
five
buildings. Secondary students in grades 9-12 have access to a
comprehensive
curriculum and state-of-the-art technology in a recently renovated and
enlarged high school building. A full range of
extra-curricular
activities is available for all district students. Students can
participate
in team and individual sports, foreign language clubs and fine arts
activities.
The recent addition of a state-of-the-art performing arts center
and aquatic center have expanded opportunities for our students
even further. Our Allegan Adult Education program offers adult and alternative
education.
Recreational and enrichment experiences for youngsters, as well as
adults
are also available.
The employees of the Allegan Public Schools are proud of their system
and
hope that you will share in this pride and their dedication to public
education
in this community. Please become an active member in your local
school's
APT, PTO, parent advisory group or booster club.
YOUR
PARTICIPATION IS WELCOMED!
