Central Collegiate Academy, previously Central High School, is the oldest secondary school in Detroit, Michigan; it is owned by the Detroit Public Schools. Education Achievement Authority operates the school. ==History== * (Capitol High School, Class of 1882 ) In 1858, Detroit's first high school opened on Miami Avenue. By 1863, due to increased enrollment, the school was moved to a building that had formerly housed the State Capitol - becoming Capitol High School. In 1871 the University of Michigan granted accreditation to the school. In 1893 a fire destroyed Capitol High School; it continued to function temporarily at the Biddle House on East Jefferson Avenue. In 1896, Capitol became Central High School, located at the intersection of Cass and Warren Avenue; the structure is still in use as Wayne State University's Old Main.〔 During 1904, innovative educator David Mackenzie returned to his hometown as the new principal of Central High School. By 1913, under Mackenzie's direction, a one-year, college-level premedical curriculum was established at Central High - the first junior college curriculum organized in Michigan. In 1916, the program was extended to two years, and in 1917 the state legislature approved Mackenzie's plans for establishing the Detroit Junior College, forerunner of Wayne State University. In 1919, David Mackenzie was officially appointed first Dean of the college.〔(Walter P. Reuther Library David Mackenzie Papers )〕 In 1926, due to a further increase in the student population, Central High School moved to its current location, at 2425 Tuxedo Street.〔"(Inside Detroit Public Schools » Central High School )."
