Lahser High School is a high school in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. Opened in 1967 with 200 students, it now has almost 900 students.[1] Now the school is receiving the International Baccalaureate program for the class of 2013 and beyond. The teachers at Lahser have been preparing for this for 3 years. The football program has had five consecutive playoff-eligible seasons, 2002–2006, in both class 3 and class 2 MHSAA competition.[2] In 2010 the decision was made to merge Andover and Lahser High schools in order to build a new high school that would reside on Andover's grounds. Lahser's athletic facilities will be kept for use by the new high school.[3] [4][5]
Lahser has won several MHSAA state championships including: men's soccer-1999,[6] men's/women's tennis, women's lacrosse, and women's golf. Lahser currently competes within the Oakland Activities Association Blue Division for football. Most of Lahser's students come from Bloomfield Hills and Bloomfield Township. Lahser's crosstown rival is Andover High School, which is also located in Bloomfield Township.
