Allen Park Public Schools is a school district in Allen Park, Michigan, United States.

## History[edit]

The school district first opened Lapham School north of Southfield on Horger Street. Originally a K–8 school, students would end up going to a Detroit public high school after Lapham.

the district later opened Allen Park High School on Champaign Rd. in 1950. They also built five elementary schools and one middle school in the 1960s.

North Junior High was on Allen Rd. in front of Pretty Family Park, and later became an office building.

The 5 Elementary schools were-

* Sudman, on Philomene Blvd. (1946-1984)
* Riley, on Moore (Later became Community School for students needing special education, and the location of school district)[2]
* Bennie, Next to Allen Park High School
* Lindemann, on Carter near Wick
* Arno, near Markese.

Lapham was later closed and turned into the school district office and community center, followed by the closure of Sudman High School, torn down and left as a public park named Sudman Park.

Following the closure of a middle school on Allen Road, a new middle school was constructed on Vine, near Lincoln Park. The old middle school was sold and rented out as an office building. The current principal is Patrick Donohue and the current assistant principal is Bruce Andrews.[3]

The district later closed and tore down the Lapham building and closed Riley, turning it into the district office and special education center.[2] As of June 2022, Riley had ceased operations as special education school and now serves solely as the district office due to budget cuts.

## Board of education[edit]

The district is governed by a seven-member Board of Education. The Board's President is Gordon Miller, and Vice President of Operations is Michael J. Klein. Former Lindemann Elementary principal Michael Darga is the superintendent of the school district.
