Principals | Vice-Principals | Teachers | Photos & Coordinates | Sources

The Inkster School is named for members of the Inkster family who arrived in this region in the early 1800s. Construction started in 1948 following a sod-turning on 18 June presided over by Peter Taraska. The original configuration designed by local architect William A. Martin had eight classrooms and a gymnasium. It opened for classes in November 1949. Four more classrooms were added to the school in 1952-1953 and portable classrooms were brought to the site in 1964 and 1997. A four-room expansion in 1999-2000 included a life skills area, science laboratory, and multi-purpose room.
