Livonia Public Schools (LPS) is a public school district in the Metro Detroit area, serving most of the city of Livonia and the northernmost portions of Westland.[4]
History
Seven small school districts consolidated in 1944 to form Livonia Public Schools district.[5] Bentley High School was the district's first high school. Designed by architect Eberle M. Smith, it opened in November 1947,[6] followed by Franklin, Stevenson, and Churchill High Schools in the 1960s. Bentley High School closed in spring 1985[7] and was demolished in 1999.[8]
