Ann Arbor Public Schools is remaking the city's oldest high school this summer. Pioneer High School is in the midst of a $12.5 million renovation that promises to remake the school district's biggest high school.

Among the work that is being done is the turning the East Wing of the school into the Recreation and Education space. Gone will be eight portable classrooms on the Seventh Street side of the school and what was one the old East Wing classrooms.

The school district is also expanding the cafeteria, decentralizing administration and department offices and renovating or building new Math Department office, ceramic room, pool, banquent home and choir room

Ann Arbor Pioneer opened in the early 1950s on a huge parcel of land bordered by Seventh Street, Stadium Boulevard, Main Street and Scio Church Street. It has been renovated and added on a number of times since then. It has been 20 years since the last major renovation. The opening of Skyline High School allowed the school district to redevelop Pioneer High School.
