- Churchill High School, named after Winston Churchill, is one of the three main public high schools in the city of Livonia, Michigan, a suburb of Detroit. The school was created in 1968 as an add-on to the other high schools in Livonia in response to the population boom that the city saw at the time. The first school year (1968-69), a sophomore class attended classes at nearby Franklin High School. The school is home to the MSC (Math, Science, and Computers) program as well as the Creative and Performing Arts program (CAPA). It also has a wide variety of athletics. The Girl's Cross-Country team finished second in the state of Michigan in 2006, and the Girl's Varsity Volleyball team won the 2007 state championship. The Livonia Career Technical Center is across the street, providing all Livonia Public School students the opportunity to engage in many hands-on activities.
- Math, Science, and Computers Program
-
The Math, Science, and Computers (MSC) program accepts 30 students into each grade. Admissions are based on previous standardized testing and a special test usually administered in a student's second year of junior high school, during the month of January. A number of students who are not initially accepted into the program (known as "alternates") may participate in a limited number of MSC classes, or may be allowed full entry if students drop out of the program at the end of a school year.
- CAPA
-
Livonia's alternative program for young artists was conceived in 1985 as an opportunity to offer selected classes, studio experiences, and performances in specified areas of interest. The program originally offered five major strands: dance, theatre, visual arts, instrumental, and vocal music. The Creative and Performing Arts High School Program was thus designed to pursue in-depth study, increase individual skills and put those abilities to use in selected performance and exhibit situations.
- Objectives for the program also included experiences in multi-disciplined classes which met weekly and offered a platform for guest lecturers, performers and team-taught education.
- The CAPA program was placed in Churchill High School's extensive art facilities: a 900 seating capacity auditorium, a black box theatre, a little proscenium theatre, a dance studio, a vocal room, and an art gallery. Goals for the Creative and Performing Arts Program are specifically to prepare Livonia's young men and women for artistic careers, further specialized study and to create a more appreciative and educated local artistic community.
- When cuts were made to the arts during the state realignment of educational dollars, instrumental and visual arts were eliminated from the CAPA program. The program is, nonetheless, larger than ever with over 250 students in the three disciplines of theatre, voice and dance. The survival of CAPA is owed to conscientious board members, administrators, parent support groups and student interest.
- Churchill Alumni
-
Notable alumni of Churchill High School include:
- Zach Gowen, former WWE and TNA Wrestling star
- Judy Greer, actress and former member of CAPA
- Ryan Kesler, professional hockey player of the Vancouver Canucks
- Jonathan B. Wright, actor and former member of CAPA
- Jim Kerr, DJ and host of morning show at WAXQ-FM in New York City
