OVERVIEW OF CASSOPOLIS:

Cassopolis is a small, relatively diverse rural community. Cassopolis is a very community-oriented school district. The district is centered around the village of Cassopolis, which was recently awarded the Community Excellence Award by the Michigan Municipal League, edging out the three other finalists: Farmington Hills, Royal Oak, and Traverse City. The village includes a beach, boardwalk, and many local businesses. The village also includes a developing industrial park. The district consists of three schools (P-5, 6-8, 9-12) and a total of 850 students. One evidence of the close-knit nature of the community is the high percentage of Cassopolis graduates who are working for the school district serving our current students.
