Dear HVS,

We’re off to a great start this school year, and I’m excited to share some key updates on projects that will shape the future of our schools and community. These initiatives include the progress of many bond-funded projects, including plans for the new middle school and complete overhaul and renovations of White Lake Middle School as well as the upcoming redistricting process.

Middle School Construction Progress
Thanks to the support from our community in passing the 2019 and 2024 bond proposals, I’m pleased to report that construction will begin at White Lake Middle School in January 2025. In addition, planning is progressing rapidly for the new middle school, which will be located on the Milford High School campus.

These facilities are being designed to offer modern, flexible learning environments that meet the needs of today’s students while supporting future generations. A top priority in both projects is enhancing safety and security to ensure a safe environment for all students. These plans align with our goal to create two main feeder tracks, where each track will consist of four elementary schools feeding into one middle school, which will then feed into one of our traditional high schools.

Redistricting Process
With the planned closure of Muir and the repurposing of Oak Valley, the district has begun the process of redistricting. This will help balance enrollment across schools and ensure efficient operations district-wide. Guided by our Strategic Plan, we aim to establish attendance boundaries that promote equity and reflect the needs of our students and families.
We understand that redistricting can bring about uncertainty, and we are committed to ensuring this process is as smooth as possible. The redistricting plan will be finalized and shared with families by mid-December, well in advance of when the changes take effect. We will work closely with affected families and students, providing support to help students feel welcome and prepared as they transition to their new schools.

Looking Ahead
We’re excited about the positive impact these changes will have on our district and the opportunities they will create for our students. Thank you for your continued support and partnership as we continue to inspire and build bright futures, one student at a time.

Warm regards,

Dr. Paul Salah
Superintendent, Huron Valley Schools
