History
In 2018 the Hannahville Indian Community gave the district $3.9 million so it could build an expansion, and voters passed a millage so the remainder of the funds for expansion could be obtained.[4] In June 2019 the expansion and renovation project began. The total cost was $4 million.[5] The expansion is to house the child development facility.[6]
Student body
Most students live in the settlements of Harris,
Circa 1975 the average class size was 30 students. The Native American students reported discrimination and had a dropout rate of 85%, prompting the tribe to establish the Hannahville Indian School.[7]
