Birch Run Area Schools is a school district headquartered in Birch Run, Michigan. It is a part of the Saginaw Intermediate School District and serves the Birch Run area, including the village of Birch Run, Taymouth Township, part of Vienna Township and all but the northeastern sections of Birch Run Township.[8]
History
[edit]The first graduating class from Birch Run High School was in 1924. In 1939, an addition to the Birch Run school, built by the Works Progress Administration, was opened. It was not damaged when, in 1941, the original school burned down. The burned section was replaced by a one-story wing in 1943.[9] These structures still exist on the southeast end of the high school. In 1954, voters approved the consolidation of 6 of the township's fractional school districts into the Birch Run Area Schools district, and passed a bond issue for a new addition to the high school.[10] The addition was designed by Finnish architect Suhlo Alexander Nurmi.[11][12]
The district's dedicated elementary school opened in 1958.[13] The high school was renovated and expanded in 2001.[14]
