Huron
High school is a name used in some parts of the world, and particularly in North America, to describe the last segment of compulsory secondary education. It is preceded by primary education. High school is also the name used to describe the institution in which the final stage of compulsory education takes place. In the United States, high schools generally consist of grades 9, 10, 11, and 12, although the inclusion of grade 9 varies by school district.
Huron High School is a public school in Ann Arbor, in the U.S. state of Michigan. Located in eastern Ann Arbor near the banks of the Huron River, it serves grades 9 through 12. The school's principal is Dr. Arthur Williams. Huron opened in the fall of 1969, when the high school baby boom population was at its highest peak. The student body at the city's only public high school, Ann Arbor High, had recently outgrown its quarters on the city's west side. The school board constructed a second high school, renaming the first to Pioneer High School, with the new school named Huron High School.
In 1968, before Huron's building was completed, students from the old and new schools shared the Pioneer building in a split schedule, with Pioneer students attending classes in the morning and Huron students in the afternoon. Reaction against Pioneer's factory like building was a large factor in Huron's organic curvilinear form.
The athletics programs include baseball, basketball, men's, basketball, women's, cheerleading, cross country, football, golf, soccer, softball, swimming, men's and women's, tennis, men's and women's, track, volleyball, wrestling. Huron High School is a dynamic school that promotes academic achievement, high expectations, respect, unity, and safety. Huron High School strives to develop specific goals and high academic standards, using communication and commitment within a shared learning environment.
The mission of Huron High School is to offer an environment in which all students will acquire the necessary skills to become responsible thinkers who appreciate diversity and are productive citizens in their community.
