School Background

Southeast High School was founded in 1937 at 3500 East Meyer Boulevard, and is currently the African Centered Education Collegium Campus. The new magnet school was established as a means to reconnect African-American students with African traditions. The school mascot is the Scarlet Knight. Southeast had been was a KCMO public high school from the 1930s until reestablished in 1997. The mascot was simply "the Knights." Until the late 1960s, most of the students were white. As more black families moved from the inner city to the more middle-class southeastern section of KC, white families began to flee to the suburbs. As a result, the Southeast's student body rapidly changed to majority black by the early 1970s. For the most part, the transition was peaceful.
