[edit] Athletics

Arthur Hill competes along with 11 area high schools in the Saginaw Valley League. The current list of schools includes the Bay City Central Wolves, Midland High Chemics, Bay City Western Warriors, Midland Dow Chargers, Flint Central Indians, Saginaw High Trojans, Flint Northern Vikings, Saginaw Heritage Hawks, Flint Southwestern Academy Knights, and newcomers Mount Pleasant Oilers.

Arthur Hill recently won the 2006 Class A Boys Basketball Championship defeating Okemos under coach Greg McMath.

In 1973, while the Michigan High School Athletic Association did not run formal football championship tournaments, the widely regarded champion of the Wolverine state's prep gridiron world were the Lumberjacks of Arthur Hill. Coached by George Ihler (who later went on to coach in the collegiate ranks at nearby Saginaw Valley State University), the AHHS squad went undefeated through their season. More remarkable, however, was the fact that their opponents' scoresheets were blank for every game! While scoring fifty points per game, on average, the Hillite defense pitched nine shutouts.
