History Montabella Community Schools was established in 1966, when Blanchard, Edmore, and Six Lakes school districts merged.
A new high school opened in March 1980 between Blanchard and Edmore. It featured a 63-foot-long history-themed mural by Michigan artist Larry Blovits, paid for by a grant from the Michigan Council for the Arts. That building is currently used as Montabella Elementary.
Voters passed construction bond issues in 1999 and 2018 to add new facilities to the campus.
