Grand Ledge Public Schools is a Michigan school district that includes the city of Grand Ledge and the village of Mulliken, as well as portions of the townships of Danby in Ionia County, Eagle, Watertown, and Westphalia in Clinton County, and Delta, Oneida, Roxand, and Windsor in Eaton County.

History

Grand Ledge High School opened in fall 1959. At the time, the former high school became Jonas Sawdon Junior High School for grades seven and eight. By 1995, this building housed the district administration.

Grand Ledge High School has a rich athletics history in Mid-Michigan. Known as a baseball powerhouse for their state titles in 1977 and 1995, they have also won state titles in boys' golf (1995), football (2000), and girls' gymnastics (2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013).

Notable figures from Grand Ledge High School:

  • Matt Greene (2012 & 2014 Stanley Cup Champion, 2001 graduate)
  • Al Horford (2024 NBA Champion, 2004 graduate)
  • Pat O'Keefe (legendary baseball and football coach, led school to all state titles in both baseball and football)

All three individuals are members of the Grand Ledge Athletics Hall of Fame.

In 2018, a three-phase bond was based in the district. This included school renovations and improvements to athletic and other school-related facilities. Some major projects included a new track & field complex located along M-43 and just southeast of the existing track & field facility, a brand new weight room and performing arts addition to the high school, and new Wacousta Elementary School.
