This August 2nd, 2022, an Operating Millage will be on the election ballot for voters of Coleman School District. The Absentee ballots for this August 2nd ballot will be available July 18th to military and those overseas and July 23rd to the general public. We would like to inform our community of a few important points regarding this millage election: This is NOT a bond, but for operational purposes. EVERY school district in the State is required to bring Operating Millages to a vote of the public in various years. This is a RENEWAL, NOT AN INCREASE for taxpayers. This is a NON-HOMESTEAD renewal and will not impact primary residences. Please read through the attached flier and feel free to ask us any questions you may have! Have a great rest of your day!
Just a few pics from the last day of school today! Thanks for all the fun, see you all next year!
This Friday, June 3rd, come out and celebrate our Girls and Boys going to States in Track and Field! You can park in the Student Lot at the high school about 3:00 p.m.; please do not park in the Staff Lot as buses still need to get out.
The caravan of our kids going to States will leave at about 3:10 p.m. You can cheer them on at the high school or as they travel through town in Coleman on their way to Grand Rapids.
Congratulations and Good Luck! #GoComets!

Lions Clubs International sponsors an annual Peace Poster contest for students ages 11 to 13. The 2021 theme was “We Are All Connected.” In November, Coleman seventh grader McKayla Stillwell was awarded a certificate and check for $50 from Coleman Lions Club as this year’s local winner. Her poster was then entered in the District contest (42 clubs). On May 19, 2022 McKayla and her parents were again invited to a Coleman Lions meeting, this time so McKayla could receive her award of $100 for being the District 11-E1 winner. The District covers an area from Grand Rapids to north of Traverse City and from Lake Michigan east to Midland! In addition to the check, Coleman Lions Presented Kayla with a framed picture of her original poster. Pictured here are McKayla and her parents Heather and Jesse Stillwell.

Seniors Carter Brownlee and AJ Simon stopped by Mrs. Brownlee's 3rd grade class on Wednesday to answer some questions about their after-graduation plans. Carter explained why he chose to get a welding certification and enter the workforce right after high school. AJ spoke about his decision to be in the 5th-year program and about how Dual Enrollment classes helped him earn credits for college. The kids really enjoyed asking questions about welding and AJ's future major at MSU, Crop & Soil Sciences. Thank you Carter and AJ for stopping by!
