Dearborn High School is a secondary school, founded in 1893, now located on Outer Drive in Dearborn, Michigan, United States. Dearborn High is one of the three high schools of the Dearborn City School District. There are over 1600 students currently attending Dearborn High. The school has made Adequate Yearly Progress and is in compliance with the No Child Left Behind Act.
Dearborn High's 2005 senior class was recognized for exceeding the state average in standard reading, writing, and math.[1] The school's four-year graduation rate as of 2004 is 90%, while the one-year drop-out rate is 3%.
The original 1893 high school building stood at the northeast corner of Mason street and Garrison avenue. An auditorium and gymnasium unit was added to the east of this structure in 1920. The 1893 building was razed in 1925 and a three-story 20-classroom structure erected in its place. An addition of 10 classrooms was added as a north wing in 1950. Dearborn High School moved to the Outer Drive location in 1956, and the Mason street building was remodelled as the Ray H. Adams Junior High School, named for the superintendent of schools when the 1925 building was erected. The junior high school closed in 1985 and the building was again remodelled to become part of a modern high-scale office complex.
