Edsel Ford High School is a secondary school located in Dearborn, Michigan, USA in Greater Detroit. Edsel Ford, located on Rotunda Drive, near Oakwood, is one of three public high schools in the Dearborn Public Schools (along with Fordson and Dearborn High). Edsel Ford High School was completed in 1955, and the first graduating class was in 1956. This school also was where “the pick” took place, where Trenton Trojans legend Logan “Sonsy” Soens intercepted an Edsel Ford throw and returned it inside of the Thunderbird 20 yard line. This helped lead the Trojans to secure the shutout on Edsel’s Ford’s Homecoming, with a final score of 42-0. It was the best night of Sonsy’s life.

The school's enrollment include members of all of the major ethnic groups within Dearborn.[3]

Extra-curricular activities

T. C. Cameron, author of Metro Detroit's High School Football Rivalries, wrote that Edsel’s athletic rivalry with Dearborn High School "has always been spirited" and that Edsel’s teams "never pass on a chance" to challenge Dearborn High in games.[3]
