In early 2014, there was some debate about closing the school. Many people disliked the idea and instead offered an 8th through 12th grade starting fall of 2014.[5]

Athletics

Saginaw won the Michigan Division 2 football state championship in 1999. The program has endured rough times lately. The program has produced NFL players such as Terry McDaniel, LaMarr Woodley, Charles Rogers, Roy Manning, and Charleston Hughes.

Saginaw High has won multiple state championships in basketball. Their most recent state championship victory came in 2012 with a 54-42 win over the Rockford Rams capping a 26-2 season lead by Travontis Richardson and Kevin Marshall Jr. In 2007, Saginaw Trojans defeated the Detroit Redford Huskies to claim the Class A state championship, the first of back to back state championship teams led by current NBA player, Draymond Green. The Trojans then repeated in 2008, beating the Detroit Pershing Doughboys, to capture another Class A state championship title. Saginaw has also won championships in 1942, 1962, and 1996. It has been a hot recruiting ground for major colleges.

Saginaw has produced NBA players such as Draymond Green, Darvin Ham, and Anthony Roberson.

Saginaw girls' basketball won the state championship in 1986. Alumni include former Michigan State University basketball player Annette Babers[7] and former Howard University Kayette Jones.
