Calumet High School (Calumet, Michigan)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Calumet High School is located in Calumet, Michigan in Michiga's Keweenaw Peninsula. The town was established during a copper boom in the Upper Peninsula beginning in the 1860s. The school itself is a product of the powerful Calumet and Hecla Mining Company that once owned and operated much of Calumet. In the late 19th and early 20th century Calumet became a large prosperous town.

The population drastically decreased once the mines began to close down during the 1940s and 1950s. However, enrollment has recently stabilized at 500. Current courses of study include Academic, Engineering, Business, Tech and Trades. The school mascot is the Copper King.
