Other Integrated Schools in Cass County

Calvin Center School, Calvin #4  once stood west of the intersection of Mount Zion Street and Calvin Center Road on the north side of the street with the front door facing south.  All that remains is a field stone foundation, typical of many old school sites.  Calvin Center is listed in both the 1860 and the 1872 Cass County plat maps, but the 1860 plat shows the location on the south side of the road and at the corner.  Calvin Center served students until 1957.

Long School, Calvin #8 stood at the south east corner of Brownsville Road and Calvin Center Road.  A home occupies the site now.  In 1912-13, the school sat atop a fairly good sized hill very popular in winter for sledding.  Long School is listed in both the 1860 and 1872 Cass County plat maps, but the 1860 plat shows the school to be on the corner north of the 1872 location putting it in section 3.  Records show the school closed in 1915-16.
