Bozeman Schools

The Bozeman Public School system covers an area greater than just the City of Bozeman . The school system is made up of two districts-- Elementary District No. 7 and the Bozeman High School District. The elementary district covers approximately 300 square miles. The high school district covers approximately 1100 square mile encompassing nine elementary districts -- Bozeman, Cottonwood, LaMotte, Monforton, Gateway, Anderson, Sedan, Malmborg and Ophir.

The school district is governed by a Board of Trustees -- seven citizens who are elected by the voters of the elementary district. Two Trustees-at-Large are elected by citizens of the rural elementary districts to serve with the elementary trustees as a high school Board. Board policies are administered by a district superintendent.

There are six attendance centers for elementary students. K-5 students attend Emily Dickinson, Irving, Hawthorne, Longfellow, Morning Star and Whittier. K-5 students are allowed to attend the school of their choice on a space available basis.
