    Dakota High School is a public high school located in Macomb, Michigan, United States. It opened in 1995 as the second high school in the Chippewa Valley school district. An overflow of freshmen caused the need to build a ninth grade center. However, as that building could not be built in time for the 2007-2008 school year, Dakota had to utilize a finished wing of the new Seneca Middle School building. The Ninth Grade Center has been open and in use since the 2008-2009 school year.
