Ypsilanti Central High School This year we celebrate the seventy-fifth anniversary of the founding of our school, whose history dates back definitely to 1849. Previous to that year several unsuccessful attempts to found a private school had been made, but now, by an act of the state legislature, School District No. 4 was created and united with another Ypsilanti district to form the institution called “The Ypsilanti Union Seminary.” The three-story brick building in which this institution was housed had formerly been a hotel, but now the lower floor was devoted to classrooms, and the second and third stories became dormitories for the “foreign” students, or those who came from out of town. As the town itself was small, the greater percentage of the students were of that catagory. The Seminary was one of the first preparatory schools in Michigan. Young men and women came from all over the state to train for college entrance and to become teachers. The old hotel building was burned to the ground in 1857, but was immediately replaced by a larger structure. After 1870 the Seminary became more distinctly a local high school than a teachers’ preparatory institution. The building was again de- stroyed by fire in 1877, and was partially burned in 1894. This was rebuilt, and now stands as the Central grade and junior high school building. The new Central High School building, which appears above, was first entered by classes in 1918.
