Truman High School
It took two years in the planning stages and one and a half years of actual construction before Truman Junior-Senior High School opened. It is situated on 40 acres of land. The structure encompasses five and a half acres and cost $6.1 million. It was designed by Joseph St. Cyr of Farmington. The halls were originally carpeted with a moss green carpet. The lockers has a color scheme of orange, brown and beige and blue, green, tan and yellow. The huge "classroom" called the Agora held 26 classrooms seperated by walnut storage cabinets. The backs of the cabinets held bulletin boards, screens, or chalk boards. Headsets were used when movies were shown. Approximately $1 million was spent on furnishings. The open concept classrooms have been replaced with walled in classrooms today and the carpeting has been removed. The English Circle is now strictly a cafeteria.

TVLA
Taylor Virtual Learning Academy is located inside a wing of Taylor High School, in Taylor, Michigan. TVLA is an innovative and alternative approach to learning and earning a high school diploma. Students work independently to take courses online through the Edmentum platform. We use our in person learning lab to support students when they need 1-1 tutoring or extra help.
Our students have many options available to them once in TVLA. TVLA is proud to have connections with many valuable community partners that can help students excel beyond the classroom and into being a productive asset to society. Some examples are Michigan Works, Beaumont Hospital, Community Care Services, and the Taylor Police Department just to name a few. TVLA is also very proud of our Student Council. The student council is 100% student driven. They have organized many fundraisers and charitable works throughout the community and continue to do so. Some students take in person CTE courses through the Taylor Career Technical Center, as well as dual enrolment with Wayne County Community College. Once students reach their credit requirements and meet all state requirements, they will receive a MMC (Michigan Merit Curriculum) Diploma issued from the Taylor School District at the end of the given school year. This diploma meets the state requirements and is a minimum of 18 credit hours. Students are also eligible to receive the Taylor High School diploma, if they meet all of the requirements for that.
