History Pewamo’s school district, then independent, consolidated with several outlying districts in 1941 and later merged with Westphalia’s district in 1959. Westphalia's previous school, built in 1903, was a stone building with a central cupola, and it contained all grades in the district.
The merged district undertook a building program to create a new middle/high school between the two towns. Louis C. Kingscott and Associates of Kalamazoo was the architect. The new school opened in fall 1961 and the old Pewamo school was demolished. The school was dedicated on November 26, 1961.
Bond issues to expand and renovate district facilities passed in 1997, 2002, 2013, and 2023. A new high school gymnasium was built in 2003.
