History
Southeastern High School opened its doors on January 2, 1917.{{Cite web|url=http://high-schools.com/directory/mi/cities/detroit/southeastern-high-school/260100104830/|title=Southeastern High School in Detroit, MI}} The school was built in a semi-rural area that had recently become a part of the city of Detroit. When the school was built, it was so removed from the central city of Detroit that it was considered to be out in the jungle, which was the origin of the school's nickname, the "Jungaleers".{{Cite web |url=http://www.trulia.com/schools/MI-Detroit/Southeastern_High_School/ |title=Southeastern High School - 3030 Fairview St, Detroit, MI - Trulia |access-date=2016-02-24 |archive-date=2013-01-12 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130112043303/http://www.trulia.com/schools/MI-Detroit/Southeastern_High_School |url-status=dead }}
Southeastern High School's enrollment following World War II was among the highest of any high school in the state. Even as recently as 2008, its enrollment was 2,428.{{Cite web|url=http://michigan-football.com/f/detrtse.htm|title=Detroit Southeastern Jungaleers Michigan High School Football Scores, Schedules, and Analytics}} In 2011-2012, the school's enrollment was 790.{{Cite web|url=http://high-schools.com/directory/mi/cities/detroit/southeastern-high-school/260100104830/#section-1|title = Southeastern High School in Detroit, MI}}
The school district recently changed the school's official name from Southeastern High School to Southeastern High School of Technology and Law, as its curriculum has a strong emphasis on both these areas.{{cite web | url=http://icansoar.org/schools/high-school/southeastern-high-school/ | title=Galileo.id }}

For the first 31 years of the MHSAA boys' basketball state championship tournament, the PSL did not participate in the tournament, and decided they would have their own tournament among the PSL high schools instead. It wasn't until 1962 that the PSL began playing in the MHSAA boys' basketball state tournament.{{Cite web| title=For 31 years, the Detroit Public School League Ran Its Own Tournament in the Shadows of the MHSAA, Its Stars Achieving Legendary Status In Exile | url=http://www.mhsaa.com/MHSAA_ARCHIVE/sports/bbb/psl.pdf | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120304115521/http://www.mhsaa.com/MHSAA_ARCHIVE/sports/bbb/psl.pdf | archive-date=2012-03-04}} Since 1962, and through 2015, the 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 boys' basketball championships.{{Cite web|url=https://www.mhsaa.com/sports/boys-basketball/yearly-champions|title=Yearly Champions | Boys Basketball | MHSAA Sports|access-date=2016-02-24|archive-date=2015-06-26|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150626175750/http://www.mhsaa.com/sports/boysbasketball/yearlychampions.aspx|url-status=dead}}
