History
Michigan Avenue Middle School, built in 1921, was located at 325 S Michigan Ave (where the post office is currently). It was once known as Howell Public School and included the high school. It was demolished in 1983.
The Freshman Campus was built as Howell High School in 1965. Michigan Avenue Middle School moved into the building, at 1400 West Grand River Avenue, when the present Howell High School was built, renaming it McPherson Middle School.
The present Howell High School opened in September 1981. McPherson Middle School became the Freshman Campus with the opening of its replacement, Three Fires Middle School (now Three Fires Elementary) in 2002.
Parker Middle School had been planned as a high school, and when it opened in 2007, it housed Howell High School while that building underwent renovations. After the 2007-2008 school year, other than housing some classes for Lansing Community College in one section, it was vacant due to lack of funds. In fall 2008, the movie High School with Adrien Brody used it as a filming location. In fall 2011, Three Fires Middle School moved into the Parker building, and it was renamed Parker Middle School. At that time, Latson Road Elementary closed and moved to Three Fires Middle School, becoming Three Fires Elementary.
