Osborn High School

Osborn High School

Osborn High School is an educational complex operated by Detroit Public Schools (DPS).

Located on the northeast side of Detroit, Michigan; the school is named for Laura Freele Osborn (1866-1895), a highly regarded suffragist and campaigner for school reform. Mrs. Osborn was a member of the Detroit School Board; she was also the first woman elected to any office in Detroit. Osborn's reforms included: school lunchrooms supervised by trained dietitians, special programs for children with special talents, special instruction for handicapped children, visual education, health education, and classes in manual and domestic arts.

The school has eight programs, including Osborn Academy of Mathematics,[1] Osborn College Preparatory Academy,[2] Osborn Evergreen Academy of Design and Alternative Energy,[3] and the Osborn Upper School of Global Communications and Culture.[4]

In July 2010 Osborn High School was closed; it reopened in August of that year. DPS officials plan to keep the facility open for two years.[5]
