Melvindale-Northern Allen Park Public Schools is a public school district in Metro Detroit. It serves parts of Allen Park and Melvindale.[4]
History
The district was organized in 1882, and its first school was built that year. As the population of the district grew during the 1920s, new schools were built, including the Quant School in 1927, which served as the high school.[5]
The former high school on Prospect Street began as an elementary school around 1951 and was designed to become the district's high school with further phases of construction. Eberle M. Smith Associates was the architect.[6] In 1953, the state approved funding for the completion of the building as Melvindale High School.[7]
In fall 2023, the high school moved into the former Baker College campus in Allen Park. The former high school became Strong Middle School.[8]
