Decatur Public Schools is Accepting Schools of Choice Applications!
Did you know you can choose where your child goes to school?
Michigan's Schools of Choice law gives families the opportunity to enroll their children in a public school district other than the one where they live. This law has been helping families find the best educational fit for their children since it was first established in 1996.
Please stop by the District Office at 110 Cedar Street to pick up an application or contact McKelle Fisher at mcfisher@raiderpride.org or call 269 423 6800.
At Decatur Public Schools, we believe every student deserves a place where they are known, supported, and inspired to succeed.
When you choose Decatur, you're choosing more than a school—you're joining a family.
