Swartz Creek Community Schools
Swartz Creek Community School District is a public school district in Genesee County in the U.S. state of Michigan and in the Genesee Intermediate School District. The School District serves the City of Swartz Creek, parts of Flint, Flint Charter Township, Gaines Township, Clayton Township, Argentine Township and Village of Lennon even over into Shiawassee County.
==History==
In 1840, notices were posted to organize a school district in Miller's Settlement and included parts of Flushing (Clayton Township in 1846) and Mundy Townships (Gaines Township in 1842) extending a half mile south of the current City of Swartz Creek limits. For the initial two years, no taxes were levied and tuition was charged to the parents of the students with classes held in a log schoolhouse with the first teacher, Jane Watlkins of Grand Blanc, taught for three months. With the third year and a third district organization, taxes were levied to build a new schoolhouse to replace the burnt down previous schoolhouse. Those settled west of Miller's Settlement, Ryno Settlement, were not content with the control of the district lying with those from Miller's Settlement. With the creation of the Begole School district on Bristol in Flint Township, Ryno Settlement members claimed that current board members were in Begole and therefore illegally a member of the district board and elected Ryno Settlement residents and allies as replacements: Aaron B. Ryno, director, Philander McLain, treasurer and John M. Nash, moderator. They then changed the district's boundaries to exclude the "removed" board members. County school inspectors overruled the Ryno board's changes. Ryno versus Miller's residents continued on into 1846 when six special meetings where held in which four times a school was voted on to be built in Ryno and rescinded an equal number of times. Nonetheless a new building was built in 1853 at Miller and Morrish Roads (now Holland Drive), referred to as the "Little Red School House". Some time in the future the Ryno Settlement was separated into its own school district as it will later merge with other districts. An addition was built on a few years later and while waiting for that addition other space was rented.
In 1891, the original Little Red School House was replace with a new Little Red School House on Morrish Road South of the railroad station. Two years of high school was added with an additional space in 1903. Swartz Creek was only one of a few schools that offered any High School grades, so many students from neighboring school attend for high school. Flint and Durand offered all four year of high school and was where most went after Swartz Creek to finish high school. In 1910, a kindergarten program was started by renting space in the Odd Fellow Hall on the Corner of Miller and Morrish Roads with Agnes Richardson as the first kindergarten teacher.〔
To meet the need of the community for the students to finish high school in the district, Stanford Tappan Crapo donated in 1928 land (five acres) on Miller Road and $40,000 for the purpose of building a gym and auditorium at a school there. A school with 10 classrooms and the gym/auditorium was design and built by 1929 and was named Mary Crapo School in honor of Mary Ann Slocum Crapo. The system purchased a bus fleet at the end of 1945 to bring in high school students from seven neighboring districts. In that same year, a hot lunch program was started.〔
