Located at 202 Elm Street in Bergland, Michigan, the Gogebic-Ontonagon Intermediate School District (ISD) serves as an active, specialized public educational agency within a rural, remote setting in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Functioning as a regional special education and vocational district rather than a charter system, Gogebic-Ontonagon ISD operates a single primary facility designed to provide essential technical education, specialized therapies, and support services to surrounding local communities. Its comprehensive educational reach spans from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade, alongside specialized ungraded programming, accommodating learners with a wide variety of academic, physical, and developmental needs.

The district serves a focused student body of 126 enrolled students, with early childhood pre-kindergarten instruction representing the largest concentration of direct learners alongside smaller cohorts spanning elementary and secondary grades. Reflecting its distinct role as an intermediate service district, Gogebic-Ontonagon ISD maintains a robust team of approximately 198 full-time equivalent staff members. This includes roughly 34 full-time equivalent teachers, 6 instructional aides, and over 158 specialized support personnel. This substantial staffing context highlights the district's emphasis on high-touch individual interventions, dedicated therapy, and technical programming tailored to help every student reach their full potential.
