The Southfield Observer & Eccentric stated that the school re-established its high school after receiving "overwhelming demand" to do so, with the first new high school class graduating in 2000.[5]
In 1995 and 2001,[3] the Governor of Michigan awarded the school the Golden Apple Award for Academic Excellence.[7] As of 2004[update] Manoogian had 370 students.[6]
Louise Manoogian Simone and Richard Manoogian, the children of Alex and Marie Manoogian,[4] donated funds for an expansion and renovation in 2004 and later donated additional funds when the project found additional expenses.[3] A new high school facility opened in 2009. As of 2009[update] it had about 55 employees and more than 400 students.[8]
In 2009 principal Hosep Torossian stated that the school had a budget, almost entirely sourced from funds from the State of Michigan, of fewer than $3,000,000.[1]
