Detroit Collegiate Preparatory Academy at Northwestern is a public high school in Detroit, Michigan; it replaced the previous Northwestern High School and is a part of Detroit Public Schools.[1][2] The most recent{{when|date=May 2017}} enrollment figures for Northwestern indicate a student population of approximately 2,000. {{fact|date=May 2017}}

The school features numerous extracurricular activities, including Debate, US Army JROTC, and interscholastic and intramural athletics. NHS also offers several advanced placement (AP) courses.

Northwestern serves as the neighborhood high school for Highland Park residents,[3] as no senior high schools exist within Highland Park boundaries. {{Asof|2018}} about 180 students from Highland Park attended Northwestern.[4]

History

In 2012 Southwestern High School closed; many former Southwestern students were rezoned to Northwestern.[5]

Highland Park Community High School of Highland Park Schools closed in 2015. DPS became the designated school district for the high school students of Highland Park,[6] and Northwestern High became the zoned high school for the city.[7][8] That year United Automobile Workers (UAW)-Ford financed a renovation of the school's athletic facilities.[7]

Athletics

For more than one hundred years, Northwestern High School has produced many outstanding student athletes who have excelled at the collegiate level and beyond. Colt alumni achievements include National Collegiate Athletic Association championships and Olympic gold medals.

In 2008, Northwestern High won the Detroit Public Secondary Schools Athletic League Championship in men's basketball. Since 1919, Northwestern basketball teams have claimed a total of sixteen DPSSAL titles.[9] Northwestern also won the 1928 Michigan High School Athletic Association basketball championship.[10]

Coach Bert Maris led Northwestern's swimming and diving program to three consecutive MHSAA team titles (1925 through 1927). In 1930, the Colt swimming team, coached by Leo Maas, won another MHSAA championship trophy;[11] Maas also guided the school to five consecutive DPSSAL titles (1933 through 1937). To this day, Northwestern remains the only Detroit public high school to win a state team championship in the sport of swimming and diving.

The Northwestern Colts also boast an impressive record in track and field.

Bert Maris and Coach Warren Hoyt led Northwestern to the 1925 MHSAA title in track. Coach Malcom Weaver and the Colts won the state track championship in 1927, 1929 and 1930.[12]

The Michigan high school sports archives also document Northwestern's MHSAA championship titles in tennis (1927), and cross country (1929).[13][14]

Due to the influx of Highland Park students, as of about 2015 the school was in the process of restoring its marching band and the wrestling programs that had been popular at Highland Park Renaissance High.[7]

The school's gymnasium, paint room, weight training room, and swimming pool were scheduled to receive renovations circa 2015.[7]
