History
The Armada school district began back in the late 1920s, when they built a brand new two-story building holding kids K-12 grade. In 1956, the district decided to build a new high school (now the middle school) holding kids 10-12 which moved some of the kids from the old building to the new one. That school lasted as a high school until 1976 when it was renovated and became the present day middle school which would hold kids in grades 7-9 (now 6-8). At the same time they turned the high school to a middle school, they were building a brand new high school which opened in the fall of 1976
Due to the increasing population of the district, In the fall of 1999 built a brand new elementary school, Orville C. Krause Elementary School (formally Armada Elementary School)
