Шаблон:Short description Jared W. Finney High School was a public comprehensive high school in northeastern Detroit, Michigan, United States. Located at 17200 Southampton, it was a part of Detroit Public Schools, and was in proximity to the Grosse Pointes.[1]
History
The school first opened as an elementary school in 1928.[2][3][4][5] It became a high school in 1962.[6][7]
Finney received a $2.5 million bond investment prior to its closure in 2009.[2] The original plan was to rebuild the school in a new $75 million campus on the same site shared with McNair Pre-K-8, but those plans changed.[8] In 2012, Finney and Crockett High School merged into East English Village Preparatory Academy,[2] which was built on the former site of Finney.[1]
The school was named after Detroiter Jared Warner Finney, a United States Commissioner and U.S. Attorney, in honor of his wide-ranging contributions to the City of Detroit. He was one of two sole members of the first graduating class of Detroit High School in 1861. Jared's father, Seymour Finney, was a prominent conductor on Detroit's underground railroad and owned "Finney's Barn," near Griswold and State streets, where the family hid former slaves and helped ferry them to freedom in Canada.[9]
