Your School of Choice:
Getting the Word Out About Gobles Public Schools

Gobles Public Schools is once again working to get the word out about what many already know about our school district: that we're the BEST KEPT SECRET in Southwest Michigan. The months of July and August are important months to let others know about the opportunities that exist here for students and families who might be considering our school district in the annual Schools of Choice program established by the State of Michigan.

Schools of Choice is an important part of our educational program, as our school district traditionally operates with more than 10% of our enrollment coming from neighboring school districts. Students and families choose our district for many reasons, most notably the reputation of our quality educational program.
