Annexed School Districts

The Bylaws of the Chelsea Alumni Association, Inc. recognize anyone who completed the majority of their education in Chelsea Public Schools or a school that subsequently annexed into Chelsea as Alumni and members of the Chelsea Alumni Association.
In an effort to preserve the history of Chelsea Schools, the Alumni History Team is working to compile a list of schools that annexed into Chelsea plus gather photographs of those schools. Anyone with information they are willing to share is encouraged to reach out to Meredith Walker-Simerly (Class of 2001) at [email protected].
