Wayne Westland Community School District
Wayne Memorial High School
The creative instruction and opportunities for students are among the reasons Wayne Memorial High School selected a Building the Hope ‘School to Watch.’ Wayne Memorial’s 11th-grade students from Latino families scored above the statewide average on the Evidence-Based Reading and Writing section of the SAT for the 2021-2022 school year.
Other programs distinguishing the school are a Multilingual Language department assertively engaged with the community and teachers, and a college and career readiness office focused on aligning data about student aptitude and interests with exposure to future professional job opportunities.
“It’s our job to grow and extend every opportunity we can for every single student in our district. Leveling the playing field for our kids – those are our marching orders. Equity has to be the lens that we look at through every aspect of our organization.”
