Anchor Bay School District is a school district in Macomb County and St. Clair County, Michigan, serving New Baltimore and portions of the townships of Casco, Chesterfield, Ira, and Lenox.[4]

The schools are accredited by Cognia.[5]

## History

[edit]

Several schools in the district were formerly Anchor Bay High School. Lighthouse Elementary once housed the high school.[6] Anchor Bay Middle School North was then built as Anchor Bay High School.[7] Its opening in fall 1966 was delayed one day by a late furniture delivery.[8] Eleven years later, a new Anchor Bay High School opened in fall 1977. The architect was Harman, Tibedeau, Wedge and Associates.[9][10] It became Anchor Bay Middle School South when it was replaced by the present building in 2003.[11] The architect of the present high school was TMP Associates.[12]

## Reconfiguration

[edit]

As part of the bond issue passed in 2022, the high school is using the following career pathway tracks: 1. Engineering, natural science & agriculture, 2. Health & human services, 3. Arts & communication, and 4. Business & technology.[13] Beginning in the 2025-2026 school year, elementary schools will serve grades kindergarten to four, Middle School North will serve grades five and six, and Middle School South will serve grades seven and eight.[14]
