Who We Are Maple Grove is an Early 5 through 6th grade school in rural Lapeer County. Our original school was a white, one-room school house that sat on M-21. The current building was erected in 1964 and has been added to on two previous occasions. Currently, 18 teachers and support staff numbering 25, serve approximately 500 students. Maple Grove is one of 10 elementary centers within the Lapeer Community Schools. We are fortunate to have a lot of parent and community involvement. Our PTA contributes thousands of valuable hours in the classroom and by fundraising to provide our learning community with a variety of items and services. Part of our technology plan this year is to expand our electronic pen pal program. Is YOUR school interested in corresponding?
