Cass Technical High School Reviews
Rating 3.93 out of 5 2,253 reviews
Cass Tech is a school that is what you make it. They have the resources but will not force you to it, it is your decision with your opportunities. It is a very large School so it is really easy to find friends but you have to keep in mind people always come from different backgrounds. As far as education goes you sometimes get lucky with teacher, sometimes you will have supportive teachers who want to see you through and sometimes you will have teachers who are simply there because it is their job and they are being paid for it and you will notice. As far as admin, the counselors are great!
Cass Tech’s history is deeply interwoven with the educational and socio-economic fabric of Detroit. Named after Lewis Cass, a former governor of the Michigan Territory, the school was initially established to address the growing need for vocational training in an era marked by rapid industrialization. Over the years, the school evolved from its vocational roots to become a comprehensive institution offering a wide range of academic and technical programs. The original building, located on Grand River Avenue, was an architectural marvel of its time, symbolizing the city's commitment to providing top-tier education to its youth
Cass Technical High school is a very interesting high school experience, filled with a mix of challenges, growth, and memorable experiences. From navigating the complexities of friendships and relationships, dealing with the adversities of the pandemic to balancing academic pressures and extracurricular activities, each day brings different opportunities for learning and self-discovery. Whether it's participating in sports teams, clubs, or school events, Cass Tech fosters a sense of community and belonging. Yet, it's also a time of transition and exploration, where we as a school community begin to form our identities and aspirations for the future. Despite the inevitable ups and downs of dealing with our uniquely large school, Cass Tech remains a formative chapter that shaped my future career in many profound ways.
