Welcome To William D. Ford Career-Technical Center

Spring is here! Spring brings many opportunities for William D. Ford Career-Technical Center students to demonstrate their acquired knowledge, skills, and aptitudes.

FordCTC works with employers to identify credentials necessary to hire our students into high-skill, high wage, in-demand occupations. We have aligned our program standards and competencies to ensure student success in their chosen fields of study.

When we return from Spring Break, certification testing will begin. Please check with your teacher if you have any questions about available credentials.

I hope everyone finds Spring Break enjoyable.

With students in mind,

JaCinda Sumara

Westland, Michigan - The Board of Education of Wayne-Westland Community Schools is proud to announce the successful sale of its 2023 School Building and Site Bonds (the Bonds) in the amount of $36,760,000 as authorized by the voters of the School District in November of 2018. The Bonds represent the third and final series of bonds pursuant to such voter authorization. The Bonds will be used for the purpose of remodeling, equipping, re-equipping, furnishing, re-furnishing school buildings, athletic fields and other facilities; acquiring and installing instructional technology equipment and infrastructure in school buildings and other facilities; construction of additions to existing school buildings and athletic field houses at both high school sites; preparing, developing and improving sites at school buildings, playgrounds, athletic fields and other facilities and the purchase of school buses, and paying the costs of issuing the Bonds.

This week, Wayne-Westland Community Schools staff supported each other and the students as we processed another senseless tragedy on the campus of our educational partner, Michigan State University. We then came together again after experiencing the loss of one of our students in a tragic accident. This loss has raised many emotions, concerns, and questions for our district.
