Sturgis Middle School, a beautiful multi-story building that sits on 87 picturesque acres, opened its doors to students in 2004 during Rob Olsen’s tenure as Superintendent. Previous to its current location at 1400 E. Lafayette Street, Sturgis Middle School was located in the Central School building located at 107 W. West Street. Central School was built in 1917 for $120,000, and a combination gym and auditorium were added to the school in 1931. Central School, now called Sturgis Central Commons, houses the district’s administration, alternative education, and various early childhood programs.
