History

The South Lyon Union School District was formed in 1876. In 1915, South Lyon Union High School was constructed on the same site at Liberty and Warren. It served as the district school for many years, and was later used as the School Administration Building, until it was demolished in 1998. In 1955, a new high school was built for the district - Bartlett Elementary. Another new High School was established in 1969 (now Millennium Middle School). In 1990, South Lyon High School moved to its current location, at 11 mile and Pontiac Trail. In 1999, South Lyon High School received an addition, that included 22 classrooms an auxiliary gym and a new wrestling room.
