The Lansing Public School District is a public school district in Lansing, Michigan. It also serves part of the city of East Lansing, and parts of the townships of Delta, DeWitt, Lansing, and Watertown.
History Public school in Lansing began in May 1847. Between 1847 and 1851, three separate school districts were created within the three wards of the then-small city. In March 1861 the number of wards was increased to four and the districts were consolidated into a single all-inclusive school district within the city limits as required by the new city charter.
Lansing Central High School's 1942 yearbook discusses the city's first high school: Built in 1875 and rebuilt on the same site in 1910, it became known as Central High School. The next year would be Central's last, as J.W. Sexton High School was dedicated in February 1943, replacing it. Eastern High School opened in 1928 and Everett High School opened in 1933, with its present building opening in fall 1959.
