History

A Union school district was created in South Lyon in 1876. Beginning in July 1946, the district (then known as Lyon Township School District) consolidated with neighborhood school districts such as New Hudson. In 1966, the Wash-Oak school district consolidated with the Lyon Township district, forming the present 83 square-mile district. ^[8]

On the corner of Liberty and Warren Streets, a two-story school was built in 1915 and served as the high school until 1955. The building was torn down in 1998 and is now the site of a shared city/school administration building. ^{[9] [10] [11]}

Bartlett Elementary was built as South Lyon High School in 1955. ^[12]

In fall 1968, Millennium Middle School opened as a new and larger South Lyon High School building. The architect was O'Dell, Hewlett and Luckenbach. ^[13] It became a middle school when the present high school opened. ^[14]

The current South Lyon High School opened in fall 1990. ^[15] The architecture firm was Hastings & Chevetta. ^[16]
