Warren Consolidated Schools

History

Warren Consolidated was formed by 1941, when the North school became part of it. Also known as the Berz school, it was located on the West side of Mound just South of 15 Mile Road. That school was sold in August 1952. The district was led by superintendent James Clor from 1999 until November 2007. Dr. Robert D. Livernois took over as superintendent in April 2008 after leaving his former district and district neighbor, Warren Woods School District. On March 7, 2024 Dr. Livernois told the Community that he decided to retire from the district at the end of the summer - effective August 30, 2024.

On May 2, 2024 Walled Lake Consolidated Schools superintendent Dr. John C. Bernia was appointed as the new superintendent of Warren Consolidated Schools, replacing Dr. Livernois on August 30, 2024.

Schools

Learning Centers

It was previously operated as Hatherly Elementary School. In 2014 the district announced that Hatherly Elementary would close, with the building becoming Hatherly Educational Center. The center received the Macomb County Head Start Program, the district Early Childhood Special Education (ECSE), the Great Start Readiness Program (GSRP) or "World of Fours", and the district's tuition-based preschool. These programs were respectively hosted at Lean Elementary School and Fillmore Year-Round Elementary School, Siersma Year-Round Elementary School, Holden Elementary School, and Siersma Year-Round, and Willow Woods Elementary School, respectively.

As of 2017, Hatherly Educational Center currently houses Community High School, the alternative education high school of Warren Consolidated Schools district.

The center, located in proximity to Metropolitan Parkway and Ryan Road, was previously operated as Annie E. Flynn Middle School. In 2014 the district announced that Flynn Middle would close, with the building becoming Flynn Educational Center. Community High School and Adult Education English as a Second Language (ESL) were to move to Flynn, with the former coming from Butcher Educational Center and the latter from Sterling Heights High.

As of 2011, the school had 640 students. Almost 66% of the students were bilingual in English and another language, and the majority of the students were second generations in immigrant families. Former principal Charles Kluka characterized the school's environment as a salad bowl instead of a melting pot. The most common foreign languages spoken at Flynn were Albanian and Arabic. Other students were Assyrian, Bosnian, Cantonese, Filipino, Hmong, Indian, Korean, and Vietnamese, and there were 26 primary home languages among the Flynn students. The school had an English as a second language program with over 50 students, and it provided three interpreters who assist persons during special events held at night and in classrooms during school hours.

Flynn Educational Center is currently owned by MISD, and houses a Secondary Autism Program.

Previously operated as Thomas Butcher Junior High School until 1982, it has housed the Macomb Mathematics Science Technology Center since 1989, the Middle School Mathematics Science Technology Center since 2013, and the Middle School Visual and Performing Arts program since 2014. It also previously housed Community High School until 2014, when it was transferred to Flynn Educational Center following its opening.
