Orchard Public Schools, apart of the Summerland School District and formerly of NE Unified District #1, is a school located in Orchard, Nebraska. In 1999 Clearwater, Orchard, and Verdigre formed a Unified School District and remained in this district until June 5, of 2020 when Ewing, Orchard, and Clearwater formed a new districted called Summerland School District. In 2009, the towns of Clearwater & Orchard began co-oping their sports together. They reorganized under unification and combined their 5-8 grades into one middle school in Orchard, and their 9-12 grads in Clearwater High School in 2011. In 2017, Clearwater and Orchard ended their organization but remained a part of the NE Unified District #1. Orchard Public School remained under unification until June 6, 2020. In November of 2019, a bond was passed that allowed Clearwater, Ewing, and Orchard to become Summerland Public Schools.
Administrative staff are currently working in the school during the summer, but the school will be unoccupied by administrative staff from fall of 2021 to forever.
