Swan Valley High School is a public high school in the Swan Valley School District of Thomas Township, Michigan. Swan Valley High School is part of the Tri-Valley Central Conference. Swan Valley has been part of the Mid-Michigan B, TVC East, TVC West, and the TVC Central conferences since its start in 1971. Swan Valley's original mascot was the Panthers which soon changed to the Vikings. When the new high school was built, the mascot was changed due to another area high school utilizing the Panthers name. The sports teams of Swan Valley were then divided up between the Vikings and the Valkyries to show individual support for both male and female teams. Later the sports teams were simply called the Vikings and the Lady Vikes.

History

On June 13, 1966, voters approved the formation of a unified school district. Rumors suggest that while the Board was contemplating a name for the new school district, one of the members spotted a Swan on a nearby pond and suggested the Swan Valley School District title. Soon after, voters also approved a $3.9 million bond for the construction of a new elementary (Robert B. Havens which was completed in 1971) and a new high school on 87 acres of land where those buildings sit today.

Ground was broken for Swan Valley High School in July 1971 led by board president Dick Middlebrook and Assistant superintendent Marvin Johnson. The first high school graduation was in 1974 and there have been nearly 7000 alumni since that time.[3] Swan Valley High School is a highly rated public high school in Thomas Township, MI, on the outskirts of Saginaw, MI. In the 2022–2023 academic year, Swan Valley is listed among the top 10 schools in the Saginaw area.[4][5] The School district is ranked top three in the Saginaw area.
