History Zeeland Public Schools was organized in 1850 and instruction was conducted in the Dutch language. A dedicated brick school building was built in 1879. In 1894, when the first class graduated from Zeeland High School, students graduated after completing eleven grades. A dedicated high school building opened in 1909. A new high school opened in February 1925. Another building was added to the high school campus in 1957. It was located at 320 East Main Avenue, and currently houses Cityside Middle School. The 1925 section has since been torn down. Creekside Middle School opened in 1966.
The current Zeeland High School (which became Zeeland East High when West High opened) opened in fall 1996. On the same campus, West High School opened in fall 2002. The designer of both buildings was GMB Architects. The high school mascots were chosen in 2001: the Chix for East High and the Dux for West High. A pool was built at West High School in 2005.
