History

The present Grand Haven High School building opened in fall 1997. It was designed by GMB Architects. [5]

The former high school, at 900 South Cutler Street, was dedicated in January 1954. It included a swimming pool in which the water was changed every six hours, a rifle range, and a basement recreation room with ping pong and card tables. The architect was Warren S. Holmes Co. [6] When the present high school was built, it became Lakeshore Middle School. [7]
