CADILLAC â When McKinley Elementary opened in 1958, Craig Weidner was in fifth grade.
The 1966 Cadillac High School graduate remembered the excitement in the new school s opening. Weidner said the old McKinley Elementary was like the old Franklin Elementary. It was a three-story building with a gymnasium on the top floor. It has creaky old stairs and showed its age.
In contrast, the new one-story school, located at 601 E. North St., was new and different. While more than 60 years have passed and memories have faded, Weidner said the memory of the school s construction was a big deal.
The school now sits as a shell of its former self and soon, the structure will be demolished.

CADILLAC âOnce again, the Cadillac Area Public Schools Board of Education will get an update regarding the Extended COVID-19 Learning Plan as well as information about a schedule change at the high school.
In a letter sent out Friday by Cadillac High School Principal Konrad Molter to the school s families, it stated the student body will be divided into two groups, Blue and Gold. The Blue Group will report to school every other day, as will the Gold Group.
This will roughly cut the class sizes in half, which should reduce the risk of exposure and potential disruption due to close contacts, according to the letter. In the letter Molter also wrote, other schools around the state have been highly successful in reducing the risk of exposure to COVID-19 by practicing âsocial distancingâ in the building with a modified schedule.
