OGEMAW COUNTY, MICHIGAN

OGEMAW COUNTY SCHOOLS


The County of Ogemaw was organized in 1876 and shortly thereafter, the need for local schools was realized. The first schools appeared in communities where families settled and children needed educating. One-room schools were built in all townships, and several in some townships. Many times the schools were moved to different locations as necessary to make it more convenient for the students to attend. Because of this, location descriptions may vary. As population increased, larger schools were needed and slowly the one-room schools were consolidated with the larger schools in that community. Records of these original schools are sometimes sparse. Listed below are the schools that are known to have existed in Ogemaw County. Anyone having additional information is asked to contact the Ogemaw County Coordinator, Grace Dooley.
