Facility Master Plan Spotlight Pershing High School to get a new building! #DidYouKnow? Pershing High School, the home of the Doughboys, is one of five schools set to receive a brand-new building! Slated to open in Fall 2027, this state-of-the-art facility is part of the District’s Facility Master Plan. Pershing High School is a cornerstone of Detroit’s rich legacy and pride and we’re committed to honoring that tradition in every aspect of the new design. Pershing’s own, “Queen” Ann Connally (Class of ‘69) and Joan Pentsil (Class of ‘76), are playing pivotal roles in ensuring that Pershing’s history is integrated into the new building. Their insights are helping to create a space where future students will thrive in an environment tailored to their needs. Our Capital Projects and construction design teams are collaborating closely with alumni, students, community members, and Principal Tipton. Their collective voices, ideas, and feedback are at the heart of this project. Recently, at a school design meeting, we reviewed exciting new plans and color schemes with the proud alumni and Principal Tipton. Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to build a bright future for Pershing High School! — Follow our journey as we share updates on the story of Pershing High School’s new building.

✨ 🛝 🪁 DPSCD students deserve joyful spaces designed for them to thrive. Our operations capital improvement team recently completed upgrades to our K-8 school playgrounds thanks to the financial investments by the district as approved by our Board of Education through our anchor investments. This means that our students and community now have access to high quality play spaces that not only bring safe and fun to recess, but also enhance the beauty of our schools and our neighborhoods.
