Southeastern High School of Technology and Law is a public coeducational secondary school in Detroit, Michigan, United States. It is operated by the Detroit Public Schools. DPS will resume control of Southeastern High in fall 2017.[2]

History[]

Southeastern High School opened its doors on January 2, 1917.[3] The school was built in a semi-rural area that had recently become a part of the city of Detroit. When the school was built, it was so removed from the central city of Detroit that it was considered to be out in the jungle, which was the origin of the school's nickname, the "Jungaleers".[4]

Southeastern High School's enrollment following World War II was among the highest of any high school in the state. Even as recently as 2008, its enrollment was 2,428.[5] In 2011-2012, the school's enrollment was 790.[6]

The school district recently changed the school's official name from Southeastern High School to Southeastern High School of Technology and Law, as its curriculum has a strong emphasis on both these areas.[7]

Athletics[]

The Jungaleers compete in the Detroit Public School League (PSL) and are members of the Michigan High School Athletic Association(MHSAA).

Southeastern participates in boys' and girls' basketball, boys' and girls' cross country, football, boys' lacrosse, softball, girls' swim and dive, boys' track and field and volleyball.[8]

Southeastern won PSL football championships in 1957, 1964, 2005, 2008 and 2009.[9]

The Jungaleers won back-to-back PSL championships in boys' basketball in 1925 and 1926,[10] and also won championships in 1939, 1941 and 1956.[11] More recently, Southeastern won the PSL boys basketball championship in 2011.[12][13]

For the first 31 years of the MHSAA boys' basketball state championship tournament, the PSL did not participate in the tournament, and decided they would have their own tournament among the PSL high schools instead. It wasn't until 1962 that the PSL began playing in the MHSAA boys' basketball state tournament.[14] Since 1962, and through 2015, the PSL has won fourteen MHSAA state championships in Class A, four in Class B, one in Class C, and three in Class D, for a total of twenty-two state boys' basketball championships.[15]

In 2011 and 2013, the Jungaleers were MHSAA boys' basketball state championship finalists.[16]

Publications[]

The school's yearbook was originally titled The Aryan, which was changed to The Amethyst in 1967.

The school's newspaper was originally the S.E. Booster, which became The Jungaleer in 1927.
