History
In July 2006, the Michigan Legislature passed a bill permitting the establishment of all girls' and boys' public schools. The school moved into its current location in 2008.

On Thursday March 29, 2012 50 students walked out of classes to protest against the removal of the school's principal and a lack of and perceived inconsistency in the school's teachers. The activist Helen Moore and two Detroit Public Schools school members, Reverend David Murray and LaMar Lemmons III, marched with the students. The 50 students were suspended from school.

Academics
As of 2012 it typically meets federal adequate yearly progress academic standards; it is one of the few Detroit Public Schools high schools to do so. In 2011 the school did not meet those standards in the English language arts.
