Hartland Consolidated School District

Hartland Consolidated School District is built on a proud tradition of partnership between schools and the community, working together to ensure educational excellence for every student.

District leadership values the exceptional quality of life in Hartland and collaborates closely with families, businesses, and residents to keep Hartland a great place to live, learn, and grow.

The district serves more than 5,500 students in kindergarten through 12th grade and offers a variety of educational pathways, including alternative education programs. In addition to its K–12 offerings, Hartland Consolidated Schools operates a robust Community Education program, a Senior Citizens’ Center, Don Epley Park, and Winegarner Field in the Village of Hartland.

Spanning approximately 93 square miles across six townships, the district has grown steadily since its consolidation in 1921 and reorganization in 1953. In 2004, the former high school on M-59 was transformed into the Hartland Educational Support Service Center, now home to Administrative Offices, Community Education, Transportation and Maintenance departments, Hartland Gymnastics, the Senior Center, and numerous district and community programs.

Today, the district includes four elementary schools, one intermediate school (grades 5–6), one middle school (grades 7–8), and one high school (grades 9–12). With a state foundation allowance of approximately $7,223 per student, Hartland continues to prioritize responsible stewardship of resources.

Hartland Consolidated Schools is recognized as a leader in school improvement and curriculum development, actively engaging staff and community members to create meaningful, student-centered learning experiences. Each building maintains an active school improvement team focused on enriching opportunities and outcomes for students.

Hartland continues to excel in education, innovation, and community collaboration.
