Schools

St. Louis Public Schools, through the direction of a strategic plan, offer traditional values taught in state-of-the-art facilities using modern teaching methods. The newly constructed high school along with the renovated middle and elementary buildings have all had a positive impact in keeping the school system one of the few in the state that meet the rigid standards for North Central Accreditation K-12. Advanced placement classes offer students the opportunity to receive college credit while still in high school. Long distance learning in the Interactive Television classroom allows students, teachers, and community people to take classes and interact with others throughout the United States. In addition to all of the technology and classes at the local district, a modern Career-Technical Center is available to those students that are interested in an advanced technical education before leaving high school. Students taking classes at the Area Center also have the opportunity to receive college credit before graduating from high school.

An excellent staff, modern teaching strategies, small class size, new facilities and state-of-the-art technology, all result in an outstanding educational opportunity at St. Louis Public Schools. The St. Louis District also serves as the center for the Gratiot-Isabella Regional Education Service District Hearing Impaired Program.

The staff and community recognize the need for extending the school day beyond the traditional classroom. Learning takes place in a variety of environments. The following programs and organizations are available to St. Louis High School students.
