Mill Creek Community School Corporation is a public school district inHendricks County, Indiana.
The district is coextensive withClay,Franklin, andLiberty townships. It includesAmo,Clayton,Coatesville, andStilesville, as well as a small section ofPlainfield.[1]
The formation of the Mill Creek Community School Corporation is the result of the 1964 consolidation ofClay,Franklin, andLiberty Township schools. Until that time, there was a friendly but heated rivalry that existed among the Amo, Clayton, and Stilesville High Schools. The consolidation of the township schools located in Amo,Belleville,Cartersburg, Clayton, Coatesville,Hazelwood, and Stilesville produced a higher quality education system, but also resulted in a loss of the history that was a significant part of the former schools and their associated towns.
When first consolidated, elementary schools in Amo, Clayton, Hazelwood, and Stilesville were organized. Cascade High School (incorporating the first letters of all three communities,Clayton,Amo, andStilesville in the name) was also opened at that time. Eventually, Hazelwood and Stilesville elementary schools were closed, and Cascade Junior High School was opened next door to the high school.
Mill Creek Community School District is an irregular shape but is generally located as follows:
TheMill Creek Community School Corporation consists of one high school, one middle school, and two elementary schools.
