In Ottawa County, it serves all of the cities of Grand Haven and Ferrysburg, as well as all of Grand Haven Charter Township, most of Robinson Township (except for the southeast, which is zoned to Zeeland Public Schools), the northwest corner of Spring Lake Township, and the northwest corner of Port Sheldon Township. It also includes a small portion of the southernmost area of the city of Norton Shores located in Muskegon County.[4]

History

The present Grand Haven High School building opened in fall 1997. It was designed by GMB Architects.[5]

The former high school, at 900 South Cutler Street, was dedicated in January 1954. It included a swimming pool in which the water was changed every six hours, a rifle range, and a basement recreation room with ping pong and card tables. The architect was Warren S. Holmes Co.[6] When the present high school was built, it became Lakeshore Middle School.[7]
