Saline High School, located in Saline, Michigan, is said to be the largest high school in the state of Michigan. The school moved to its 46,152 m² (500,000sq-ft.) facility on roughly 81 hectares (200 acres) of land on Industrial Drive in August 2004. As of March 2007 there were about 1,896 students.
In September 2005 the school had to be evacuated due to eight students fainting for unknown reasons the first day. The first student to pass out was Melissa Merritt, currently a University of Michigan student. At first, authorities suspected a senior prank, since no underclassmen were among the victims the first day. The cause is still unknown, although state and school administration officially stated the cause as being the "line-of-sight" phenomenon, even though the students almost simultaneously fainted in different parts of the school. More information on evacuations.
