Located on Detroit's near-northwest side, Samuel C. Mumford High School is operated by the Detroit Board of Education; the school's namesake served twenty-two years on the Board and was a former president of the organization.〔http://www.mumfordhsdetroitalumni.org/history.htm〕 Following war-delayed construction, Mumford High opened in September 1949; a time when large segments of Detroit's Jewish-American population had already begun an inexorable movement toward the suburban communities of Oakland County.〔(History of Mumford High School )〕 Mumford's architectural profile featured imported powder blue limestone block and exquisite Art Deco styling similar to other Detroit high schools. During much of the 1950s and early 1960s, Mumford High served a predominantly Jewish student population. Mumford High School was demolished during the summer of 2012; a new building will be constructed at the same Wyoming Avenue address. Communities within Mumford include Palmer Park, Palmer Woods and Sherwood Forest.〔"(High School Boundaries - 2012/13 School Year )." ((Archive )) Detroit Public Schools.
