DISTRICT/COMMUNITY HIGHLIGHTS

Corunna Public Schools is looking for the best person available. Our district lives its mission statement of preparing an unprecedented number of students to be college and/or career-ready daily. Our district is known for offering quality education in a small-town environment with the amenities of a larger community (our district buildings are five minutes away from Applebee's, Culver's, Meijer, WalMart, etc.).

Our county's cost of living is incredibly low. We are a class "B" school (around 130 students per grade level) with a reputation for higher standards. We have an award-winning inclusive preschool. Our school is the community "hub," Homecoming is still a big deal in our small town, which is the county seat. Our community is incredibly supportive of our district as well.
