The school closed in 2019, with the district citing declining enrollment.

Harrison High School opened in September 1970 with Freshman, Sophomore and Junior classes.

Harrison was the third high school in the district, and the only one with a Freshman class.

In March 2016, the Farmington school board announced that the school was to close at the end of the 2018-2019 academic year, citing lower student populations in the city of Farmington Hills.

Prior to this, students wishing to obtain an IB diploma had to attend the International Academy in Bloomfield Hills.
