The Mackinaw City Public School System has K-12 enrollment of approximately 250 students. The Junior and Senior High School student body consists of approximately 117 students, and the elementary student body also has approximately 125 students. The school is ranked as Class D. Mackinaw City Public Schools boasts a highly dedicated, qualified professional instructional staff, many of whom have their master’s degrees. The staff goes beyond normal contractual guidelines and often arrives early and remains after school to provide assistance for students in need of additional help The staff’s pursuit of excellence recently resulted in our elementary school receiving the “Golden Apple” award for exceptional MEAP test results and a $10,000 reward. The high school at the same time received the “Governor’s Cup” award for academic excellence. Of over 550 districts in the state, Mackinaw City was one of nine to receive both awards and the only Class D school to do so. Couple the instructional staff’s effort with a devoted support staff and one can easily feel a sense of pride in providing a warm caring atmosphere in which our students can learn.
