MacNaughton Learning Center Opening Fall 2025

We are excited to announce the opening of the MacNaughton Learning Center (formerly MacNaughton Elementary), a newly refreshed space dedicated to supporting both Early Childhood and Alternative Education programming for Tri County Area Schools. Previously housed at the Edgerton Building, both of these vital programs will continue under one roof in a bright, updated facility designed to better serve students and families. With this move, we’re expanding opportunities and creating a more accessible, welcoming environment in the heart of Howard City.
 
We’ve completed all updated fire and environmental inspections, ensuring that the building is safe, clean, and ready to welcome students this fall. We are also currently in the process of hiring a new building principal who will lead this work and support students, families, and staff at the MacNaughton Learning Center.
 
Beginning this fall, we’re proud to offer five (5) day, full-day GSRP preschool classrooms, Monday through Friday, through our Tri County Early Childhood program—all in one safe and engaging location.
