Fitzgerald Public Schools is a public school district in Metro Detroit. It it one of the six school districts in Warren, serving the southwest part of the city.[4]

History

The district was originally known as Warren Township School District No. 7.[5]

Fitzgerald High School was built in 1948. The architecture firm was Jensen and Keough of Detroit.[5]

The question of incorporating the area covered by the school district into the city of Fitzgerald was rejected by voters in 1949.[6] In 1953, in an ad for construction bonds, the district stated it "covers 4 1/2 square miles, has a frontage of 2 1/2 miles along the northeastern boundary of the City of Detroit ... Industry constitutes 90% of present valuation and expansion of some of these facilities is in the blueprint stage."[7]

In 2002, an automotive technology facility was built at Fitzgerald High School that allowed students to earn a Automotive Service Excellence certification.[8]
