Description: About Eastern High Schoolwas first known as Capital High School in the 1800s. Eastern High School was born at a Board Meeting on August 8, 1895. The school stood at the intersection of Mack Avenue and East Grand Boulevard and was long renowned as a producer of top sports teams, particularly in the 1950s and 1960s. It was built in 1901 and demolished in 1982. Noted alumni include Detroit Mayor Coleman A. Young (1935); Detroit Piston Reggie Harding (1961); baseball great Joe Altobelli (1950); community and business leader Ed Deeb (1954); and boxing titan Emanuel Steward (1962). In 1967, Eastern moved to a new building on East Lafayette and Mount Elliott, near Elmwood Cemetery. A year later Eastern was renamed Martin Luther King Jr. Senior High School, after the civil rights leader’s assassination in 1968. In 2012, a wing of MLK High School was dedicated to Eastern.
