History

The school opened during the 1950s Baby Boom, and it was dedicated in 1955.[4]

Cody absorbed attendance area from Redford and Mackenzie High School, after both facilities closed in 2007.[5][6][7]

As of January 2016 there are three separate high school programs sharing space at Cody.[4] During the summer of 2018 all three existing academies at the high school (Academy of Public Leadership, Medicine and Community Health, and Detroit Institute of Technology) were reunited to move forward as Cody High School for the 2018-2019 school year.

Notable alumni

Campus

The school campus has polished tile, hardwood floors, and oak cabinets. John Wisely of the Detroit Free Press wrote that these touches "hint at a time when money was abundant."[4]

The school still maintains many of the original wood cabinets and fixtures.
