History
During February 1994, Southeast Raleigh Magnet High School was proposed by Wake County to provide a school for the southeastern area of Raleigh, focusing on math, science, and technology. On July 28, 1997, the school opened for grades 9–12, with an initial student population of 1100. Beginning the 2004–2005 school year, the school changed its name to Southeast Raleigh Magnet High School: Center for Leadership and Technology. The name change came with a new initiative on the part of former principal John Modest to encourage students through school activities to develop strong leadership skills.
Since opening, many concepts pioneered at Southeast Raleigh have been implemented throughout Wake County, including block scheduling and senior graduation projects.
