Calumet High School is located in Calumet, Michigan in Michigan's Keweenaw Peninsula. It is part of the Public Schools of Calumet-Laurium-Keweenaw. The school mascot is the Copper King. The high school is in the same building as Washington Middle School.
The school was established in 1867 during a copper boom in the Upper Peninsula. The school itself is a product of the powerful Calumet and Hecla Mining Company that once owned and operated much of Calumet. In the late 19th and early 20th century Calumet became a large, prosperous town. The population drastically went down once the mines began to close down during the 1940s and 1950s. However, enrollment has recently stabilized at 400.
Current courses of study include Academic, Engineering, Business, Tech and Trades. As of 2008[update], Calumet High School offers five AP courses, including AP Chemistry, AP Calculus, AP Literature, AP Composition, and AP Biology.
