Happy 50th Anniversary Duneland School Corporation!
January 1, 2019 marked the 50th anniversary of the incorporation of the Duneland School Corporation. The Duneland School district was formed after voters from Westchester Township, Jackson Township, Liberty Township and parts of Pine Township agreed to the Incorporation of the new school district.
Since that decision to incorporate, the Duneland School has grown into an excellent school district and has celebrated many state and national accomplishments.
Check out our Celebrating 50 Years page for some new historical documents from the newly formed Duneland School Board of 1969.
