History

In 2010, the Bloomfield Hills School Board began discussing more strenuously a move to merge Andover and Lahser High schools and build a new high school that would reside on Andover's grounds. Much debate has surrounded the school board's thoughts on the project, and many local residents have asserted at school board meetings and in local news affiliates that the proposed consolidation as fiscally irresponsible and under-researched. Others stated that the community needed a new building for the current dated high schools and that it was the fiscally prudent direction the district needed. The plan included provisions for Lahser's athletic facilities to be kept for use by the new high school.[5][6][7] The 9th Grade Campus is set on the site formally known as Hickory Grove Elementary school and is estimated to have approximately 400 students as of the fall of 2013. The Main Campus for the 10th - 12th -grade students will be on the site formerly known as Lahser High School and is set to hold approximately 1,300 students in the fall of 2013.[8]

In fall of 2015, students transferred from the two main campuses to a new building known as BHHS. The neighbouring Model Center was built as the replacement for the Model High School, which was and is part of Bloomfield Hills Schools district.
