Philip J. Murray–Wright High School was a secondary school in the Woodbridge neighborhood of Detroit, Michigan, United States. It was operated by Detroit Public Schools.
The school served Downtown Detroit, Midtown Detroit, and a portion of New Center. Currently the Douglass Academy for Young Men occupies the former Murray–Wright site. As of the 2023-2024 school year, the building became Detroit Lions Academy, the alternative campus for DPSCD. It resulted as a merger between Eastside Detroit Lions Academy, Westside School of Technology, and Legacy Academy. Each of the alternative schools still maintains their own “promise” to Detroit Youth. Eastside Detroit Lions promoted a middle school program for students who were behind in middle school credits; Westside offered a credit recovery and expedited high school experience for high schoolers over the age of sixteen; Legacy Academy offered a program to help students who were previously expelled to re-enter DPSCD after the successful completion of their time in Legacy.
