Hazel Park School District
The Hazel Park Schools have demonstrated a long-standing history of meeting the community needs as reflected by the creation of the Hazel Park Youth Assistance program in 1953. The program was created by then Hazel Park School Superintendent Wilfred Webb and then Oakland County Probate Judge Eugene Arthur Moore. This program has been successfully adopted by virtually all of the school districts serving the Oakland County communities. A 1992 longitudinal study conducted by Michigan State University concluded that Youth Assistance had a 90% success rate which meant that the participants had no further contact with the Circuit Court or Probate Court after availing themselves of the services provided. Youth Assistance families receive confidential, family focused short term casework services.
The Hazel Park School District has also established one of only thirteen Promise Zones that have been established statewide. The Hazel Park Promise Zone makes college scholarships available to all students that attend Hazel Park Schools and they also support student completion of the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) form. These efforts are directed at increasing the number of students that attend college. The provision of college scholarships is one part of Hazel Park School's commitment to help build stronger communities.
Hazel Park Schools established the Marta Jardon Special Education program serving special needs students since 1966. This demonstrated that the Hazel Park School District was meeting the community needs over 10 years before the State of Michigan recognized these needs by passing the Michigan Mandatory Special Education Act in 1976.
The Hazel Park Schools have an underutilized school building (Longfellow Elementary School), that is in need of renovations to provide the envisioned services and programs. The existing structure contains a full kitchen, gymnasium, media center, multiple classroom spaces with restrooms and office spaces. The building would require renovation, modernization and revitalization due to the age of the facility and the improvement of existing technology.
