Otsego Public Schools was established in 1957, when several small districts in the Otsego area consolidated with districts in Alamo Township. The site at the corner of Allegan Street and North Street has long been important to the school district. First, it was the site of Oak Grove Seminary, a private school built in 1855. Several of Otsego Public School's buildings have been destroyed by fire. Otsego High School opened in fall 2007. It was designed by architecture firm TowerPinkster. It replaced a building, now Otsego Middle School, built in 1961. The former middle school, built in 1969, became Washington Street Elementary.
