Center Line Public Schools is a public school district in Metro Detroit. It serves most of Center Line and parts of Warren.

History The first school within the present district's boundaries was built around 1875 at the corner of Sherwood and Ten Mile Road. The district officially states that the district was founded in 1899.

Busch High School was built in 1922 at 6761 East Ten Mile Road. It served as the district's high school prior to 1954, when the current high school was built.

During World War II, the district’s population grew as industrial jobs supporting the war effort—including those at the Detroit Arsenal—drew new workers to the area. With a grant from the federal government, Victory Elementary was built in 1942. It was demolished in 2024 and, with the assistance of the Macomb County government and Michigan State University, the site became the Victory Garden, an agricultural teaching lab.

In 1944, the district stopped providing full-day high school instruction. In 1951, Center Line superintendents Russell Isbister and Clarance Crothers advocated for a dedicated high school building and comprehensive instruction. It opened in fall of 1954.
