Histori
Southeastern High School opened its doors on January 2, 1917. The school was built in a semi-rural area that has recently become part of the city of Detroit. When the school was built, it was so removed from downtown Detroit that it was considered out in the woods, which was the origin of the school's nickname, "Jungaleers".
Southeast High School registration after World War II was among the highest in any state high school in the state. Even recently in 2008, the enrollment was 2,428. In 2011-2012, school enrollment is 790.
The school district recently changed the official name of the school from the Southeast High School to Southeast Technology and Law College, because the curriculum has a strong emphasis on both of these areas.

Athletics
The Jungaleers competed in the Detroit Public School League (PSL) and became a member of the Michigan College of Athletics Association (MHSAA).
Southeastern participates in boys and girls basketball, cross country boys and girls, soccer, lacrosse boys, softball, swimwear and women's diving, tracks and field boys and volleyball.
Southeastern won the PSL football championship in 1957, 1964, 2005, 2008 and 2009.
The Jungaleers won back-to-back PSL championships in boy basketball in 1925 and 1926, and also won championships in 1939, 1941 and 1956. Recently, Southeastern won the PSL boy basketball championship in 2011.
During the first 31 years of the MHSAA children's state championship basketball tournament, PSL did not participate in the tournament, and decided they would have their own tournaments among PSL high schools instead. It was not until 1962 that PSL began playing in the MHSAA boys' state basketball tournament. Since 1962, and until 2015, PSL has won fourteen MHSAA state championships in Class A, four in Class B, one in Class C, and three in Class D, for a total of twenty-two state basketball championships.
In 2011 and 2013, Jungaleers is a finalist of the boys' state basketball championship MHSAA.
