On November 14th, Saranac Community Schools was recognized for their efforts to become a MI HEARTSafe School. In 2019 we suffered the loss of a student during an athletic practice. Since then the district has added 3 additional AED devices, trains staff on AED and CPR, and practices cardiac response drills. For two years we have worked to certify different grade levels at the JSH in CPR and AED usage. The collaboration with the Lasby family, Ionia-Sparrow Hospital, and Kevin McGraw and his non-profit organization S.E.R.C (School Emergency Response Coalition) has been incredible.



Saranac Community Schools is pleased to introduce Mrs. Sarah Simpson. Sarah will be working in transportation as a bus driver. Sarah has four children who all attend Saranac Community Schools. Please join us in welcoming Sarah Simpson to the Saranac Community Schools family.
