South Redford School District is a public school district in Metro Detroit. It serves the southern part of Redford.
History South Redford School District is derived from Redford Township District No. 9, formed in the nineteenth century. The many small, rural school districts in the township consolidated in the 1920s until there were two districts: Redford Union Schools in the northern section and South Redford School District in the southern. Beech School was South Redford's single school until George Hall Fisher Elementary School opened in fall 1928.
Lee M. Thurston High School was completed in fall 1954. Ten schools were built between 1946 and 1963, but several have closed due to declining enrollment.
Voters passed a bond issue in 2005 to add an auditorium and auxiliary gymnasium to the high school and make other repairs and improvements throughout the district. A nearly $80 million bond issue passed in 2021 to fund further improvements.
