The end state of the academies is that each graduate of Center Line High School finishes with some college credit or an industry-recognized certification. [6]

Freshman Academy

The Freshman Academy aims to provide a supportive environment for freshman students as they transition from middle school students to high school students. Freshman students are all located within the same wing of the building with classrooms dedicated to core freshman courses. Students receive support from teachers and staff within a small, student-focused learning community. Students within the freshman academy choose to move onto either the Health and Human Services Academy or the Industry, Technology, and Innovation Academy contingent upon their identified strengths and interests.

These teams include the academics team, the color guard, the drill team, the honor guard (armed exhibition drill), the raiders team (military skills), and the rifle team.
