History
The school system was founded in 1980,[6] and named the Clara Mohammed School. In 1989 the high school component was renamed after Warith Deen Mohammed.[4]
In the 1990s the school announced that it would do an overhaul.[5] Ground was broken for a new gymnasium in 1998.[7] The renovation was scheduled as a six-month project, but completion took longer due to fluctuations in donations and volunteers. The renovation, which overhauled classrooms, the gymnasium, and science laboratories, was completed in 2001.[3]
As of 2007, Mohammed Schools has no special education teachers.[8]
