History

Taylor Preparatory High School was opened in fall of 2013 by PrepNet schools. The school was founded after the St. Alfred Catholic School was closed in 2011 and the building was later sold in 2013 by the Archdiocese of Detroit after being operational since 1946. After the building was sold the hallways connecting to the main church hall of St. Alfred Catholic Church were walled off; however, the two buildings remain structurally attached.

PrepNet has since merged with National Heritage Academies in late 2020. Taylor Prep is now owned operated by National Heritage Academies.
