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]
