Be prepared to see today’s Center Line High School students as tomorrow’s community leaders. Center Line High serves 691 students in grades nine through twelve from Center Line and Warren. Center Line Panthers are challenged to grow and think toward the future through an innovative academy structure. All freshmen enter the Freshmen Academy, where collaboration, communication and exploration are core values. As students progress, they opt for one of two upper-level academies: the Industry, Technology and Innovation Academy or the Health and Human Services Academy. Within the academies, students explore career options and receive instruction tailored to the issues of the sectors. This academic model is supported by Ford Next Generation Learning, which aims to connect all students to rewarding post-secondary opportunities. Center Line High School also has connections to local businesses, trade organizations, and colleges, enabling students to pursue trade certifications or college credit while still in high school. In addition to benefiting from this unique academic structure, Center Line Panthers enjoy a traditional high school experience of Spirit Week, the marching band parading through the halls on game days, and plenty of sports options. Center Line offers 14 varsity and junior varsity sports teams, plus extracurricular clubs in music, foreign languages, and service-focused groups.

The faculty could be a bit more involved in the student future planning. My experience with the teaching and counseling staff is they needed to be a bit more accessible to the parents.

Overall, my experience at Center Line High School was average. However, there is plenty of opportunity, and there are many resources.

I liked that CLHS had some really great teachers. They were nice and knew how to have fun. This year, CLHS started to open up more programs/clubs in the school. I felt that it was a good improvement. I would like to see some of the school rules to be changed. The cellphone rule that they have is absolutely unnecessary. It does nothing except make students not listen even more. The school needs to learn that the things they think are a distraction or affecting the learning, is wrong.

Terrible. I feel like I wasted many years before I realized and pulled my kids out of the district. Now my kids are finally in a school district that is teaching them. They just have so many problems that teaching the students is their last priority.
