The Big Bay de Noc School is a consolidated Class D, rural PreK-12 one-building school district with a seperate daycare building on school grounds. Currently our student population is approximately 200 students with an average class size of 15 students. Our school sits along the shores of Lake Michigan on the eastern edge of Delta County in the beautiful Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Big Bay de Noc School operates under the Delta Schoolcraft Intermediate School District located in Escanaba, Michigan.
The Big Bay de Noc School is a central hub for the surrounding communities. The people in these communities take great pride in their school and give meaning to the phrase a “community owned” school. The surrounding townships have supported and continue renew a Sinking Fund Millage every 10 years. The purpose of such a millage is to secure funding for building improvements without incurring long term debt and using general fund monies needed for school operation. Since the inception of this millage, the entire school facility has received everything from small scale remodeling projects such as new lockers, flooring, windows, and ceiling tiles, to the large scale projects such as completely redesigned entry/front office area to meet the needs of a secure, safe and locked campus, a "Team Room" for use by our student athletes, remodeled/updated kitchen and much more.
