Arthur Hill High School was a public high school in Saginaw, Michigan, United States. It served students in grades 9–12 as one of three high schools in the Saginaw Public School District.
History
The school was founded in the early 1900s (more information needed) and named after a successful lumbering and shipping owner, local mayor Arthur Hill. He was president of the school board for five years as well as the mayor of Saginaw three times. AHHS served the Saginaw school district for well over 100 years.
In 2024, Arthur Hill students were moved to the newly built Saginaw United High School as part of the school district's consolidation plan.{{Cite web |last=Harris |first=Trae |last2=Mose |first2=Hannah |date=2024-06-04 |title=Saginaw High, Arthur Hill close out school year for last time |url=https://www.wnem.com/2024/06/04/saginaw-high-arthur-hill-close-out-school-year-last-time/ |access-date=2024-08-23 |website=www.wnem.com |language=en}} The former Arthur Hill building is currently in use as the campus for Saginaw Arts and Sciences Academy.{{Cite web |last=Engel |first=Justin |date=2023-09-13 |title=Rated among state’s best, this Saginaw high school plans big changes next fall |url=https://www.mlive.com/news/saginaw-bay-city/2023/09/rated-among-states-best-this-saginaw-high-school-plans-big-changes-next-fall.html |access-date=2024-08-23 |website=mlive |language=en}}
