Willow Run Community Schools has joined with Ann Arbor, Lincoln, Milan, Saline, Whitmore Lake, Ypsilanti and the Washtenaw Intermediate School District (WISD) to form the Washtenaw International High School (WIHS). By joining together, the districts will be able to cost effectively offer a comprehensive International Baccalaureate (IB) program to a diverse group of students from across the county.
This new tuition free, public, consortium high school is for students in the participating districts listed above. WIHS is expected to offer the highly recognized IB Diploma as the centerpiece of its curriculum and is one of only a small number of IB diploma public high schools in the United States.
WIHS is located in the newly renovated former East Middle School located at 510 Emerick Street in Ypsilanti. The school plans to open with 150 ninth graders and gradually grow to 600 students in grades 9-12, as one grade is added each year for four years.
