From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Taylor High School is a senior high school in Taylor, Michigan. It is in the Taylor School District.

The name is a reference to the city where it is located. The school colours are black and gold and the griffin is the mascot.[1]

History[]

The school was created in 2018 as a merger of two previous schools, Kennedy High School and Truman High School.[2] A new mascot and school colors were chosen as a compromise between the two previous school identities.[1] The district used the former Truman building since it was newer, had a bigger capacity, and was in a better condition.[3]

It had been started in 1973 as a joint Senior School and Middle School. The initial school real plant has been designed utilizing the Open School thought, which meant they'd classrooms with no walls. But after a few years of operating with that theory and also a configuration as being a joint senior/middle faculty, Taylor School District leaders chose to improve the college to some standalone large faculty. In addition, district leaders began the practice of installing walls within the construction, creating an individual classroom which is still the present school configuration now. Truman Senior School was Taylor Senior High School in Fall 2018, Following a Spring 2018 close of Kennedy Senior High School. On account of the closing, Kennedy's 2017 18 freshman class was moved to Truman High School. As part of this renaming, faculty colours are changed to black and white gold, and also the sports teams will wind up the Griffins.
