[edit] History
In 1877, the first graduating class of Hasting High School included only five students.[1]
[edit] The New Building
From 1916 to 1970, Hastings High School students attended classes at 232 W Grand Street.[2] That address is now home to Hastings Middle School. Students began attending classes in the new building at 520 W South Street on September 3, 1970.[3] "At the time of its opening, funds were approved to put all academic classrooms on a twenty-five to one pupil/teacher ratio," a major educational accomplishment achieved by few Michigan districts at that time.[4] The school contains one hundred thirty-two rooms including a gymnasium, library, cafeteria, and lecture hall.
