History
The River Rouge School District was mentioned in the newspaper as early as 1904.[6] In June of 1907, five students graduated from the high school,[7] a number that expanded to 37 in 1925.[8] A new high school, at 1411 Coolidge,[9] was dedicated in 1922.[10] A bond issue passed in 1993 to build the present high school.[11][12]
