Ecorse Public Schools is a public school district in Metro Detroit. It serves most of Ecorse. ^[4]

History

Ecorse had a school by the 1860s. It is recorded that in 1871, a frame school was near the Detroit River. It was replaced in 1912 with an eight-room building (later called Ecorse School One) that contained a high school that went to grade ten. ^[5] Added to the Ecorse school system were:

• School Two in 1916, on Josephine Street
• School Three in 1923, on Sixth Street near Southfield
• A new high school in 1927, on Seventh Street near Outer Drive. Grades eleven and twelve were then added to the district.

These schools are pictured in the 1952 high school yearbook, along with Miller School, built in 1938 and named for Claude J. Miller, a long-serving principal and superintendent in the district. ^{[5] [6]}

In the 1990s, schools One, Two, and Three were torn down. A new high school opened in 2001. Grandport Elementary was built on the site of School Three. ^[5]
