Cooley High School

Thomas M. Cooley High School was an high school located at the intersection of Hubbell Avenue and Chalfonte Street, on the northwest side of Detroit, Michigan. The three-story, Mediterranean Revival-style facility opened its doors on September 4, 1928. The school was named in honor of Thomas M. Cooley, a nineteenth-century jurist and former Chief Justice of the Michigan Supreme Court. Cooley was also a charter member, and first chairman, of the Federal Interstate Commerce Commission. Due to budget constraints and declining enrollment, Cooley High School was closed at the end of the 2009–2010 academic year. On September 30, 2017, a three-alarm fire severely damaged the auditorium and surrounding rooms. In June 2026, Cooley High School was slated for demolition.Full demolition of the structure took place in August 2026 to prepare the area for a new community support complex. Due to price constraints, earlier plans to save the buildings' front facade were scrapped.
