It opened in 1997 as a [[magnet school]] with a focus on math, science, and technology. The school focuses on said topics, but also places a strong emphasis on leadership. ==History== In February 1994 [[Wake County]] officials asked the Wake County School Board to provide a school for the southeastern area of Raleigh; its teaching should focus on math, science and technology. On July 28, 1997 the school opened for grades 9 to 12, with an initial student population of 1100. Beginning with the 2004/2005 school year, the school changed its name to Southeast Raleigh Magnet High School: Center for Leadership and Technology. The name change came with a new initiative on the part of former principal John Modest to encourage students through school activities to develop strong leadership skills.<ref name=directory>{{cite web|url=http://www.wcpss.net/school-directory/562.html |title=School Directory: Southeast Raleigh High |publisher=Wcpss.net |date=2011-12-05 |accessdate=2012-02-26}}</ref> Since its opening many concepts pioneered at Southeast Raleigh Magnet High School have been implemented throughout Wake County, including block scheduling and senior graduation projects. ==Location== Southeast Raleigh Magnet High School is located on 2600 Rock Quarry Road in [[Raleigh, North Carolina]].
