History

Skyline High School opened in Fall 2008 as the third primary high school and fifth total high school in the Ann Arbor Public Schools system. Construction on the new school began in April 2005 following the approval of a $240 million bond in June 2004. As construction was beginning, a population of silvery salamanders was found on the site. [4] A lawsuit was filed to block construction on the site due to the salamanders' presence, but the lawsuit was dropped the following month and construction was allowed to continue. [5] As a result of the salamanders' presence, 57 of the 109 acres of the school's property were set aside as a wildlife preserve. [6]
