BIG DEVELOPMENT IN THE PROPOSED RENAMING!!

PLEASE READ: ATTENTION ALL REDFORD UNION GRADUATES AND REDFORD TOWNSHIP RESIDENTS On Monday, June 12th, representatives of the Redford Union High School Alumni Association (RUHSAA) will be present for the Redford Union School Board June board meeting to be held at 7:30PM at the School Board Administrative offices located at 17715 Brady Street, Redford , MI 48240 (formerly Keeler Elementary). The reason representatives of the Alumni Association will be present at this meeting is to put forth a proposal before the School Board to name the gymnasium at Redford Union High School after RODNEY ABBAS (aka “RODNEY”). The Alumni Association is proposing to have “Rodney T. Abbas Memorial Gymnasium” painted in blue and gold lettering above the North gym doors at the gym. Also, at the South gym door, the Alumni Association is proposing to place a cast bronze plaque dedicated to Rodney’s memory at this location of the gym. The Alumni Association would like to ask that all Redford Union alums and Redford Township residents that support this proposal, to please contact members of the School Board and voice your support. The numbers and emails of School Board members are located below for your convenience. The Alumni Association asks that you please be kind in your communications, as this is for Rodney and our desire to place a permanent reminder of him at the high school he so loved.
