Mackenzie High School was a public high school in Detroit, Michigan.
History
Located on Detroit's west side, Mackenzie High School was named to honor David D. Mackenzie, who had served as principal of Central High School, and as first dean of the city college that would become Wayne State University.
Mackenzie High School was among the first schools constructed on land acquired through Detroit's westernmost annexation efforts in Greenfield Township; by 1926 the township had ceased to exist. Adorned in blue and yellow tile from the Pewabic Pottery Works, the three-story facility opened in September 1928. In an effort to make efficient use of available classrooms, the school's early history featured a full range of grade levels – elementary through secondary.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
In June 2012, the school was demolished, and replaced with a K-8 elementary-middle school, which kept the name of Mackenzie.
Athletics
The Mackenzie Stags were the 1979 boys state basketball champion.[1] Girls track and field won the state championship in 1978.[2]
