Day View from the South and Night View from the North
Welcome to the Cass Tech Hall of Fame -- a tribute to the numerous famous and successful graduates of one of Detroit's most prestigious institutions -- Cass Technical High School. This website celebrates the first century of CT's existence and anticipates its bright future with the new $125 million facility. The traditional building (pictured below) has been called everything from "The Big CT" to "The Green Machine" to "The Pickle Factory". Whatever it is affectionately called, Cass Tech can boast that some of the world's most accomplished citizens have graced the halls of green and white. As this website attests to, the alumni list reads like a Who's Who in America. If anyone has information that will make this website more complete -- such as the graduation year of a Hall of Fame member -- please email the webmistress at ctfame80@yahoo.com.
