Lake Orion High School is a public secondary school located in Orion Township, Michigan, United States. It is a part of Lake Orion Community Schools.

History

The first building to house Lake Orion students was built in 1893 and served grades K-12. It was demolished in the 1930s by a Works Progress Administration project after a new school building was in place.

In 1927 a new building was constructed at the corner of Lapeer and Elizabeth streets in the Village of Lake Orion. The three story building would serve Lake Orion's K-12 students for the next 30 years. After it was decommissioned as a school, Lake Orion Community Schools (LOCS) continued to make use of the building for day care, early childhood education, and auxiliary activities. Then known as the Ehman Center, it still stands, although it has been vacant for nearly twenty years.

As the Lake Orion community continued to grow, new, larger facilities were required. In the early 1950s, LOCS acquired a large tract of undeveloped property approximately two miles south of the village as the site of a new educational campus. The first Lake Orion High School opened in 1957; it housed classes for high school students for the next 40 years. Originally designed to house grades 9-12, population growth during the 1980s and 1990s meant the building became so limited in space that it eventually only served grades 10-12 and, even then, required the use of portable classrooms. In 1994, Lake Orion and Orion Township residents approved a millage for a new high school, a new elementary school, new buses, and improvements to existing buildings. The current high school opened in 1997; built due east of the 1957 high school, it incorporates approximately 425,000 square feet, and accommodates between 2,400 and 3,000 students and faculty. Designed by San Francisco-based URS Corporation, amenities in the award-winning facility include a field house with indoor track; natatorium with competition pool, diving well, and shallow pool with handicap access; and 840-seat performing arts center.
