History

The school was established in 1865 as East Side High School. [6] Alice Freeman Palmer, who later became President of Wellesley College, was principal of the school from 1877 to 1879.

In early 2014, a proposal suggested closing the school due to financial issues, [7] although this would not go through. In fall 2024, Saginaw High's student body (along with that of nearby Arthur Hill High School) was transferred to the newly constructed Saginaw United High School. [8]

The Saginaw High building is scheduled to see use as a middle school beginning in 2025.

Academics

Saginaw High School was recognized by the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools as an accredited public high school. [9]
