Flint Community Schools
Flint Community Schools is a school district headquartered in Flint, Michigan, United States, with the mission of developing a community of learners who are prepared to live, work, and contribute to an ever changing society. As of the 2009-2010 school year, the Flint Community School District Superintendent was Linda Thompson. The school district accommodates a total student population of about 30,000 students. It includes two early childhood education centers, 18 elementary schools, two middle schools, and three secondary schools--Flint Southwestern Academy, Flint Northwestern Preparatory Academy (formerly Flint Northwestern High School and Flint Northwestern-Edison Community High School), and Flint Northern High School. Other buildings under its operation include the Genesee Area Skill Center, Classical Academy, and 2 alternative education facilities.
The city of Flint's two oldest schools were Flint Central High School (formerly Flint City High School) and Flint Northern High School. Due to administrative decisions and budget cuts, Flint Central High School, founded in 1875, is no longer in operation as of 2009; Flint Northern High School, founded in 1929, is still pursuing its mission of producing tomorrow's leaders. Both institutions experienced relocation from their original sites.
The Genesee Area Skill Center (GASC Technology Center) in Mundy Township is a regional vocational-technical center in which 11th and 12th grade students throughout Genesee County can enroll in its career preparatory programs. There currently are 21 area High Schools that feed into the GASC.
