Swartz Creek High School

What Swartz Creek High School does

Swartz Creek High School is a public high school operating under the Swartz Creek Community Schools district in Swartz Creek, Michigan, serving students in grades 9-12 who reside within the district boundary. The school delivers a standard Michigan public-education curriculum along with college preparation (including state-mandated SAT administration for 11th graders), career exploration, athletics, and counseling services. It is part of an 8-school district that also includes one middle school, a virtual learning center, five elementary schools, and an early learning center.

The school's service portfolio is built around several core programs: a counseling office aligned to National Standards for School Counseling with Parchment-based transcript ordering and scholarship management; a career preparation program delivered through the Xello platform (Education Development Plan, assessments, resume builder, college planning timeline); the Swartz Creek Early Middle College program enabling students to earn college credits in parallel with high-school requirements; standardized testing services with fee-waiver support; and financial-aid assistance covering FAFSA, the Genesee Opportunity Stipend, and Michigan state deadlines. NCAA eligibility certification is supported for student-athletes.

Underlying technology consists entirely of third-party SaaS platforms rather than internally developed systems: PowerSchool for the student information system and PowerParent parent portal, Clever for single sign-on, Xello for career planning, iWellness for wellness tracking, OK2Say (a Michigan state safety-reporting tool), Parchment for transcripts, and Apptegy as the website CMS, with companion iOS and Android apps. The business model is government-funded public education — the institution charges no tuition to district residents and is financed through a combination of Michigan state education aid, local property taxes, and federal grants, with optional fee-based revenue from SAT/ACT retakes and college application fees being immaterial. Distribution is purely on-campus instruction at the One Dragon Drive facility, with enrollment restricted to in-district residents.
