Ernest W. Seaholm High School is a public school located within the Birmingham City School District in Birmingham, Michigan, serving grades 9-12. It is located at 2436 West Lincoln Road, Birmingham, Michigan 48009. Seaholm opened its doors for the first time in 1951 under the name Birmingham High. At the time, the principal was Ernest W. Seaholm and the treasurer Wylie E. Groves. These men's names would be the source of the modern names of Birmingham's two main high schools: Seaholm High School and Groves High School. Seaholm's student body and athletes are represented by a maroon and white maple leaf mascot. The school has a comprehensive Division II sports program that includes cross country running, American football, baseball, basketball, tennis, volleyball, golf, wrestling, swimming, water polo, diving, and track & field.

In addition to sports, the Forensics Team has consistently enjoyed success at the state-finalist level. Quiz Bowl team has also had success, winning a national championship in 1991 at the American Scholastics Competition Network Tournament of Champions and a state championship in 1994.
