History
editThe school was built in the late 1950s and was known as Best Junior High School.[citation needed] It wasn't until November 29, 1966, at a school board meeting when it was decided that Annapolis High School was to be established. Annapolis opened their doors in Sept. 1967 to approximately 450 students. Annapolis High School was first accredited by the University of Michigan in 1970.[4][5]
Athletics
editIn 2002, the high school made headlines when it dropped its football program due to lack of student interest.[6][7][8] This happened again in 2012 when the team did not have enough upperclassmen to support a varsity team, and the few varsity players that were left played JV football with the freshmen and sophomores. This resulted in controversy throughout the school's athletic conference.
