History

In 1836, the first school in DeWitt was established. A two-story brick school was built in the 1870s.[6] Eleventh grade was added to the district in 1937, and twelfth grade in 1938, and the high school's first class graduated in 1939. A new school, containing all grades, was built in 1937 after the old one burned.[7]

A new high school opened in February 1966.[7] In 1970, Herbison Woods Elementary was built as the middle school.[6][8] When the current high school was built in 1999, the former high school became the middle school.[6]
