History

The school district of Wyoming Park was established prior to 1911, the year that grades nine and ten were added to the district. [5] In 1938, the school was accredited by the University of Michigan and the first senior class graduated. [6]

Wyoming Park High School was built in 1936. [7] Rogers High School, now known as Wyoming High School, opened in January, 1956. [8] In 1962, the school districts of Newhall, Rogers, and Wyoming Park merged to form Wyoming Public Schools. [9]

Beginning in the 2012–13 school year, the district was restructured. This combined both high schools into a single high school on the campus of Rogers High School, which served students in grades 10 to 12. Wyoming Park High School became Wyoming Junior High, serving students in grades 7 to 9. Newhall Middle School (grades 6 and 7) became Wyoming Intermediate School (grades 5 and 6). [10] [11]

In 2017, voters passed a $79.5 million bond issue to improve district facilities. The high school was renovated and partially rebuilt with these funds. [12] In fall of 2024, Wyoming Junior High School reopened with a renovated and reconstructed building. [13]
