During February 1994, Southeast Raleigh Magnet High School was proposed by Wake County to provide a school for the southeastern area of Raleigh, focusing on math, science, and technology. On July 28, 1997, the school opened for grades 9–11, with an initial student population of 1100. Beginning 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.[1]
Since opening, many concepts pioneered at Southeast Raleigh have been implemented throughout Wake County, including block scheduling and senior graduation projects.
Southeast Raleigh Magnet High School is located on Rock Quarry Road in Raleigh, North Carolina. The school is near I-40 and Raleigh Beltline.
As of 2006-2007, the school had a total population of 1,866 students. SRMHS was built to serve 1,699 students and has added 16 mobile units (trailers) to boost that number to 2,083.[1] With the trailers, the school is at 89.6% capacity.[1] Students attend school from 7:45AM to 2:50PM, with four classes each semester. Some classes, such as Advanced Placement courses, marching band and upper-level chorus, also operate on "A" or "B" days, allowing semester-long classes to be stretched out over a year.

In the 2006-2007 school year, a lawsuit was filed after a teenager complained about being molested by a teacher's aide. The 16-year-old's mother took her child out of school in October after she found the Wake County School board unresponsive. On April 7, forty two year-old teacher's aide, Brian Grealey died from a self-inflicted gunshot to the head. The mother is now seeking damages worth over $20,000.[3]
