Henry Ford High School is located at 20000 Evergreen Road, on the northwest side of Detroit, Michigan. The facility is staffed and operated by Detroit Public Schools. Ford High opened its doors on September 5, 1957; it was constructed to accommodate an overflow of students from nearby Cooley, Mumford, and Redford high schools.[3] In 2007, DPS closed Redford High School. As a result, Henry Ford now serves the Detroit sub-community of Old Redford.[4][5][6] DPS will re-assume control of Ford High in fall 2017.[7]
