History

In 2010, the Bloomfield Hills School Board began discussing a move to merge Andover and Lahser High schools and build a new high school that would reside on Andover's grounds. The plan included provisions for Lahser's athletic facilities to be kept for use by the new high school. [6] In fall of 2015, students transferred from the two main campuses to a new building known as BHHS. The neighboring Model Center was built as the replacement for the Model High School, which was part of Bloomfield Hills Schools district.

As part of a 2020 bond proposal, new infrastructure is planned to be installed within the school including enhanced security, upgraded network and wireless capabilities, and turf baseball and softball fields. [7]

In the 2020 spring season, BHHS first fielded its school ESports team. [8]

Extracurricular activities

The Hawkeye, BHHS's school newspaper, has won several awards at the state level for print journalism. Additionally, the paper regularly operates its own website. [9]

BHHS offers over 50 clubs, alliances, and student groups for students to participate in at the extracurricular level.
