History

The school system was founded in 1980, and named the Clara Mohammed School. In 1989 the high school component was renamed after Warith Deen Mohammed.

In the 1990s the school announced that it would do an overhaul. Ground was broken for a new gymnasium in 1998. 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.

As of 2007, Mohammed Schools has no special education teachers.
