Middle school

Saline Middle School

Saline Middle School (Grades 6-8) moved into the "old" High School on Maple Road for the 2006-2007 school year. At 250,000 square feet (23,000 m²), it is twice the size of Saline Liberty School which houses administrative offices and the Alternative High School. This building can house up to 1,100 students, as well as the Senior Center which occupies one wing of the facility. It still has, even though slightly smaller than the Liberty School's, a woodshop. As well as the high school, the middle school has a small green screen room as an annex to the multimedia classroom where a group of the students produce the schools video announcements and school yearbook known as "The Hornet", affectionately named after the school districts mascot the "Saline Hornets".
