Wayne-Westland Community Schools is a school district headquartered in Westland, Michigan in Metro Detroit. The district service area includes Wayne and portions of Inkster, Westland, Canton, and Romulus.[4]

History

[edit]

Wayne Memorial High School was built in 1953. Its predecessor, Wayne High School, became the board of education offices. 'Memorial' was added to the name to honor those killed serving in World War II.[5] The auditorium was added in 1957.[6] In 1962, a fallout shelter equipped with survival supplies was installed under the auditorium. The school was expanded and renovated in 1974[7] and again as part of the 2018 bond issue.[8]

John Glenn High School opened in 1964.[citation needed] It was named for astronaut John Glenn and included a state-of-the-art planetarium. The architect was Jahr-Anderson Associates.[9]

During the summer of 2013, the Inkster Public Schools District was dissolved.[10] The Wayne-Westland school district absorbed a portion of the Inkster District.[11] Students north of Michigan Avenue and west of Middlebelt were rezoned to Wayne-Westland.[12] As of July 2013, there were 65 registered students, including 34 elementary students, 13 middle school students, and 18 high school students, in Inkster Public Schools who lived within that part of the former Inkster district assigned to Wayne-Westland.[13]
