Students at Cornerstone Health + Technology High School are looking forward to beginning their internships in October. More than 30 students have earned internships at some of the top local employers. They will spend one day per week on-site at their internship placement, gaining career experience and hands-on training.

We’re excited to announce that our Cornerstone Jefferson-Douglass Academy Boys’ Basketball team will be playing on the big court at Little Caesar’s Arena (LCA) this spring!

Jefferson-Douglass Athletic Coordinator, Ashley Knight, is the point person for this fantastic opportunity for our young men to raise funds for their team. “For just $65, you get to see our boys team in action against Crescent, and then stay for the Pistons vs. Lakers game. In addition, a portion of the proceeds goes back to the Jefferson-Douglass Athletic Association to help pay for uniforms, tournaments, and other expenses.”
