Prior to 1900, Trenton's school district did not include a high school. That fall, a new multi-room school opened at the intersection of 3rd Street and St. Joseph Avenue. High school students could attend the school instead of having to go to
Wyandotte. Slocum-Truax High School opened in fall 1924, replacing the former high school, which became an elementary/junior high. West Road Elementary, which had opened in fall 1953, was the first section of what became the present Trenton High School, which replaced Slocum-Truax as the district's high school around 1958. The architect of Trenton High School was the Dearborn firm Bennett & Straight. The Slocum-Truax building became a junior high In 1970, an addition was built at Trenton High School, including a media center. ==Schools==
