Southeast High School was founded in 1937 at 3500 East Meyer Boulevard, and is currently the African Centered Education Collegium Campus.

The new magnet school was established as a means to reconnect African-American students with African traditions.

Southeast had been a KCMO public high school from the 1930s until it was reestablished in 1997.

As a result, Southeast's student body rapidly changed to majority black by the early 1970s.
