Rally for kettering high school students
History
Built in 1964 on the eastside of Detroit, Michigan, Kettering high school was named after Charles F. Kettering the famous American inventor, and head of research at General Motors.
In 2010 DPS planned to consolidate Kettering with Southeastern High School. Officials stopped when they learned that rival gangs held influence at the schools. On February 2012, it was announced that Kettering would close at the end of the school year. Students in the regular program were rezoned to Denby, King, Pershing, and Southeastern. Kettering West Wing students were moved to schools with similar programs, including Charles R. Drew Transition Center, East English Village Preparatory Academy, Southeastern, and Jerry L. White Center. Reasons for closure included low academic performance and a decreasing number of enrolled students. In addition there were increased maintenance costs related to Kettering's physical plant.
In 2014 DPS announced that it would convert the campus into the Kettering Urban Agricultural Campus, an urban farm. Operations were scheduled to begin that year.
Campus
Kettering is located on the eastside of Detroit, Michigan. Its address is 6101 Van Dyke Detroit, Michigan 48213.
The former campus has 27 acres (11 ha) of space. It is at the intersection of Interstate 94 (Edsel Ford Freeway) and Van Dyke Road. By 2014 many properties around the school site had been abandoned, and as of that year the former campus is vacant.
