The question of incorporating the area covered by the school district into the city of Fitzgerald was rejected by voters in 1949. In 1953, in an ad for construction bonds, the district stated it "covers 4 1/2 square miles, has a frontage of 2 1/2 miles along the northeastern boundary of the City of Detroit... Industry constitutes 90% of present valuation and expansion of some of these facilities is in the blueprint stage."
In 2002, an automotive technology facility was built at Fitzgerald High School that allowed students to earn a Automotive Service Excellence certification.
