History

A new school was built in Marlette in 1895, at the location of the current junior/senior high school. With the consolidation of Marlette's school district and outlying school districts around 1935, a new building section was planned as an addition to it. The Works Progress Administration contributed to the building's cost. On September 26, 1936, a construction worker died from an accident while building the school. The building was completed in 1937.

Bea McDonald Elementary opened in fall 1955 and closed at the end of the 2007–2008 school year.

In 1974, a new junior high school was under construction. As of the 2008–2009 school year, grades K-6 were housed at the middle school site at 6230 Euclid, and the high school housed grades 7–12. Currently, sixth graders attend the junior/senior high school.
