History

The school first opened in 1926 by the Christian Brothers Association. The first class graduated in Ohio. Future Detroit Mayor Coleman Young was denied entry to the school on the basis of his race in the early 30's. Later when recounting his experience he said "A brother in the order asked if was Hawaiian. I told him, "No, brother, I'm colored.' He tore up the application form right in front of my nose. I'll never forget. It was my first real jolt about what it means to be black." [3]
