Pinckney Community Schools is a public school district in Livingston County, Michigan. It serves Pinckney and parts of Hamburg Township, Marion Township, Putnam Township, and Unadilla Township.[4] It also serves a small part of Dexter Township in Washtenaw County.[5]

History

[edit | edit source]

A brick school was built in 1888 at the northwest corner of Mill and Putnam in the village of Pinckney, and the first graduating class was in 1890.[6] The building served as the high school until 1966. Additions to the building continued to be used by the school district after the 1888 section was demolished in 1969.[7] After serving as the Village Education Center, the building was renovated for its present use as Pinckney Community Public Library.[8]

Pinckney High School opened in fall 1999.[9] The architect was TMP Associates. The high school has a 2,100 student capacity to accommodate a fast increase in student population at the time.[10][11] At its peak in the 2000-2001 school year, the district had 5,177 students.[12] In the 2023-2024 school year, the district had 2,050 students and the high school had 628 students.[2]

The present high school replaced a building at 2100 East M36, which now houses Pathfinder Middle School.[13] That building opened in fall 1966 and was designed by the architecture firm Vander Meiden & Koteles of Grand Haven, Michigan.[14] Extensive additions, including an auditorium, were built in 1980.[15] It became Pathfinder School with the opening of the current high school.[16]

Over time, the district has replaced various schools, including:[citation needed]

  • Lakeland Elementary School - closed in 2014
  • Pinckney Elementary School - closed after the 2011-12 school year
  • Hamburg Elementary School - closed in 2008
  • Village Education Center - closed in 2008, later Pinckney Community Public Library

Beginning with the 2022–2023 school year, Pathfinder School serves grades 6 through 8.[17] Starting with the 2023-2024 school year, Navigator serves grades 3 through 5. Both elementary schools serve preschool to 2nd grade.[18]
