History
Adlai E. Stevenson High School was built in 1965 to accommodate the rising population in Livonia due to the sudden mass migration of people from the nearby city of Detroit during the 1960s. It was dedicated on October 24, 1965, United Nations Day and the 20th anniversary of that body's founding, by Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey. Stevenson was the first high school in the nation named for the Sixth U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, Adlai E. Stevenson, who had died one day prior to the Livonia school board's decision on naming the new high school.
