The Taylor School District is a public school district in the city of Taylor in Metro Detroit, Michigan. The district serves Taylor and portions of Brownstown, Dearborn Heights, Inkster, and Westland.[1]

History

Taylor Center High School opened in fall 1953, closed in 1997 and was demolished in 2011.[2]

John F. Kennedy High School opened in February 1965.[3]

In 1974, Truman High School (site of the current Taylor High School) was built as a junior/senior high school using an open classroom concept.[4]

As of Summer 2013, the Inkster Public Schools District was entirely dissolved.[5] The Taylor school district absorbed some of the Inkster boundary.[6] Students south of Michigan and east of Middlebelt were rezoned to Taylor.[7]

Truman High School and Kennedy High School merged in 2018, forming Taylor High School within the Truman building.[8]

In 2021, a $130 million bond issue passed to improve school facilities and replace the high school.[9] In November 2023, Kennedy High School was torn down to accommodate the new high school.[10] In September 2024, the district announced that it would not be proceeding with building the new high school due to increasing construction costs.[11]

A cost-reduction plan was announced in 2024. As part of the plan, Eureka Heights Elementary closed in 2025, and in 2026, Clarence Randall and Taylor Parks Elementaries will be demolished. Clarence Randall Elementary will move to the Hoover Middle School building, while Hoover Middle School will move in with West Middle School.[12]
