Mohammed Schools (Georgia)

Mohammed Schools of Atlanta is a 3K-12 Islamic private school system in unincorporated DeKalb County, Georgia, near Atlanta.[1] The schools are administered by the Atlanta Masjid of Islam. As of 2001 about 300 students attend the schools.[2] It is located within the East Atlanta area.[3] The elementary and middle schools within the system are called Sister Clara Mohammed School,[4] and the high school within Mohammed Schools is Warith Deen Mohammad High School (WDMH).[2] It is the only K-12 Islamic school campus in Metro Atlanta.[5]

History

The school system was founded in 1980,[6] as the Clara Mohammed School. In 1989 the high school component was renamed after Warith Deen Mohammed, while the elementary and middle school remained as the "Clara Mohammed School."[4] In the 1990s the school announced that it would do an overhaul.[5] The groundbreaking of a new gymnasium occurred 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.[2] As of 2007 Mohammed Schools has no special education teachers.[8]
