Southfield Senior High School for the Arts and Technology is a senior high school located in Southfield, Michigan. Founded in 1951, Southfield High was the oldest of two high schools in the district operated by Southfield Public Schools. The other high school in the district is the University High School Academy, a program which is located at the former Southfield-Lathrup High School.

By the mid to late 1960s, Southfield High School (SHS) was fed by four junior high schools, Birney, Lederle, Levey, and Thompson. In the fall of 1967, students from Birney began to be sent to the newly opened Southfield-Lathrup High School, leaving SHS with the other three.

Southfield High is home to two of the Academies serving the Southfield Public Schools district, specifically the Engineering & Manufacturing Sciences Academy and the Global Business & Information Technology Academy. Both academies have separate entry requirements from the mainstream curriculum.

Southfield High offers Advanced Placement (AP) courses in several different subjects including:

Beginning the summer of 2005, all Southfield High students were required to read books from a preselected list over the summer. Honors and AP students received more books to summer read than other students.

Beginning with the 2005–2006 school year, a new dress code was instituted at the high school level, finalizing the process of bringing all of the Southfield Public Schools district under a dress code policy. All members of the Southfield School Board supported the measure and voted aye, except for Trustee Karen Miller. Ms. Miller voted no because she didn't feel that there was enough input from students in the development of the dress code. For the 2006–2007 school year, the dress code was tightened further so that it required all students to tuck in their shirts.

The campus is divided into several distinct zones called "houses", two of which are connected by glass hallways.[1]
